Baselines are an important part of the overall management of your project schedule. As mentioned earlier, baselines give you a set of numbers for your project against which you can compare progress as you move forward into the actual doing of your project. Without a baseline, you will not have any way of knowing whether your project is meeting expectations. This section covers how to save the baseline for your project.
