Boost your project’s success with the Baseline feature in the new Microsoft Planner

Written by Yuri Frid | Nov 21, 2024 4:22:18 PM

Baseline is now available in the new Microsoft Planner premium plans (formerly known as Project for the web projects). With the capability, users can capture the state of a plan at a specific moment. It serves as a reference point against which the project's current progress is compared. As your project evolves, referring to this Baseline helps you determine if you're on track or if adjustments are necessary. 

 All Project Plan 3 and above users can leverage this feature by launching the new Planner app in Teams and then proceeding with the following steps:  

Setting Your Baseline: If you haven't set a Baseline yet, simply navigate to the Baseline button and select "Create baseline". Voilà! Your project's Baseline is recorded. 

Monitoring Progress: Return to this Baseline at any point to evaluate your project's status, ensuring you're moving as planned.
