Schedule Baseline

The approved version of the schedule model, changeable only through formal change control, used as a basis for comparison.

Definition

It includes baseline start and finish dates and is a component of the performance measurement baseline.

Example

Actual finish dates are compared with the schedule baseline to compute schedule variance.

Exam tip

Changing the baseline requires an approved change request, not just a re-forecast.
