FAQs

How do you create a project baseline?

To create a project baseline:

Determine the type of baseline you’re creating by considering variables like project scope, schedule, quality, and cost
Identify any relevant key components, like scope, objectives, project deliverables, and timeline
Determine how you’ll track progress along timelines or for deliverables
Make the plan accessible to all team members and stakeholders

What’s an example of a project management baseline?

Here are four examples of project baselines:

Cost baseline — specify total project cost and prices for individual phases.
Scope baseline — detail your project’s scope to decide what to include or exclude at every step.
Schedule baseline — set a project baseline schedule that specifies a start and end date for each task or phase.
Quality baseline — set quality requirements throughout the project.

When should you baseline a project?

Baseline a project at the beginning of the project lifecycle, before any work begins. This sets a clear foundation to build upon, minimizes unforeseen roadblocks, and makes sure you have the resources you need to succeed.
