You can edit the baseline revision's name, ID, and description using the Baseline Revision Properties page. You can also view the baseline revision's baseline start date, finish date, usage data, and BCWP on this page.

To edit a project baseline

  1. Open the project for which you want to edit a baseline.

    The Project: Properties: Main - General page appears.

  2. Select the Baseline subtab.

    The Project: Properties: Baseline page appears.

  3. Click the name of a baseline revision.

    The Baseline Revision Properties page appears.

  4. Complete the following fields:
    Revision Name

    Defines the baseline revision's name.

    Example:

    Initial Baseline, Mid-Term Baseline, or Final Baseline.

    Revision ID

    Defines the baseline revision's unique identifier.

    Example:

    The baseline version number, such as v1 or v5.

    Baseline Usage

    Displays the system-generated usage at the time you take the baseline using the following formula:

    Usage = Total of Actuals + ETC
    
    BCWP

    Displays the system-calculated value of Budgeted Cost of Work Performed (BCWP). This value is calculated and recorded when you baseline your project or when you update earned value totals and is based on the cost and rate matrices associated at the project level. BCWP is also referred to as the earned value (EV).

    Calculations are made based on the level at which the calculation is being made. BCWP is calculated at the following levels:

    • Task. BCWP is based on the selected EV calculation method.
    • Project. BCWP is the sum of BCWP for all WBS Level 1 tasks in the project.
    Current Revision

    Specifies whether or not you want to make this baseline the current baseline. This field is unlocked only when multiple baseline revisions exist.

    Default: Selected

  5. Click Submit.
