Tasks, milestones, dependencies and baselines

Before you begin

• Accessible project and edit/planning permission.

Step by step

1. 01

   Add tasks and subtasks with title, estimate and assignee.

2. 02

   Define milestones and finish-to-start dependencies; correct links that create a cycle.

3. 03

   Capture a baseline before changing the plan.

4. 04

   Update statuses, dates and estimates and compare current plan, baseline, actual time and remaining work.

The result to check

Hierarchy and constraints persist and the plan remains comparable over time.

Limits and considerations

• Baselines are immutable.
• Predicted dates depend on estimates and availability, not a delivery guarantee.
