As per the schedule management philosophy, the schedule has to be baselined once it has been agreed by all the stakeholders.

Baseline is something that we usually do not change. But in some cases, we require to change it.

In this video tutorial, let us see how we can update baseline in Primavera P6.

Let us consider a simple project which is having an assigned baseline.

After some weeks, after updating schedule, the project is delayed from the baseline.

 After discussing with stakeholder and specific owner, we need to get permission to update our baseline so as to make it identical to the current schedule.

Select Current project Go to menu bar, under Project, select Maintain Baselines. Select the baseline and click on Restore button.

Now go to the Project window and we can see the baseline become a separate project which we should open and update as per the changes.

After finishing the updating of the baseline project, you need to again assign it as a new baseline.

Open your “main” project. Go to menu bar and under Project, select Maintain Baselines.

Click on Add button. Now we will select option “Convert another project” and select the updated baseline project.
