“The best-laid schemes of
mice and men Often go awry, And leave us nothing
but grief and pain, Instead of promised joy!*
The 18th century
poet, Robert Burns, got it right when he wrote
that well-meant plans will often change.
And
your project report may need to display those
changes against the original plan.

So, how can you show both
the baseline plan and the current plan in a single
report?
The best practice is to show both the baseline
and current data wherever possible, including:
-
Start and end dates
-
Milestone dates
-
Cost and spending
-
Man hours
-
Duration
|
|
Below is an example of this in
action, including:
-
Baseline and current task timelines, one on
top of the other
-
Graphs of current and baseline costs as
quarterly and cumulative values
-
Baseline and current start and finish dates
