Hi everyone,
I wanted to start a discussion around the importance of having a baseline in project management, especially for teams handling complex or fast-moving projects. A baseline acts as your approved reference point for scope, schedule, and cost—basically the foundation that helps you measure real performance as the project unfolds.
From my experience, when teams establish a strong baseline in project management, it becomes much easier to track progress, identify deviations early, and keep stakeholders aligned. Without it, even small changes can derail timelines or budgets because there’s no clear benchmark to compare against.
For anyone interested in a deeper explanation, I recently published a detailed guide here: https://app.baseliner.ai/signup.
Would love to hear how others manage their baselines—do you revise them regularly or try to maintain the original throughout the project lifecycle?
Looking forward to your thoughts!
