Guys,
In admin preferences (referred as well in reference manual: Baselining), there are two choices for calculating Baseline finish dates:
1- BL start + Planned duration.
2- BL start + At completion duration.
Although the title of these options is earned value, but as per reference manual it seems that this calculation is the general formula that P3e uses for BL finish date calculation.
Question:
A- Does that mean that when we baseline a project, BL finish date is not copied from current project? Does p3e recalculates it? Why doesnt simply copy it (as we expect the baseline to be an exact copy of what we see at the time of baselining)?
B- What is the reason of such option? How we may benefit and in what scenario we may choose the 2nd choice (BL start + At completion Duration)?
Have fun
