  • 1.  Is there a symbol baseline milestone in Gantt

    Posted Oct 15, 2015 08:09 AM

    I should like to display the baseline milestones in the interactive Gantt..

    Is that possible?

     

     

    I don't see a symbol for that in the legend.

    Don't think a milestone can be baselined. The reason being that it does not have a duration, and it is only a point in the project.

    Milestones can be baselined.  CA PPM Gantt only provides an exclamation point added to the milestone image, indicating that it has slipped - there is no indication or pop-up providing the original, baseline finish date, as shown below - see "Milestone test," last task in chart:

    MS Project, in its Tracking view, provides both an indicator for the original, baselined finish date for the milestone, but also its new, forecasted finish date:

    Perhaps there is an "Opportunity for Improvement" on the design of the CA PPM Gantt chart?

    Thanks Dale

    just a little bit larger

    being and OWB man here it is how OWB handles it

    and if you do not fancy the default icon for the baseline you can easily switch to one of the optional ones.

    Would be an useful enhancement of the Clarity Gantt!
