This copies the current value for the scheduled Finish field into the corresponding Baseline Finish field. You can use the Tracking Gantt view to see the finish variance shown graphically with Gantt bars.
Also, the Variance table includes the Finish Variance field by default. Best Uses Add the Finish Variance field to the Task Usage view when you want to analyze whether your assignments are finishing on, before, or after their planned finish dates.
Example You set a baseline for your project three months ago, and you now want to review the finish variances on the assignments. You add the Finish Variance field to the Task Usage view to analyze the assignment's progress and performance to date.
Remarks If the finish variance is a negative number, the assignment is scheduled to finish earlier than originally planned, as shown in the baseline. Remember, we're not setting up rules to report the entire project as Red, Yellow, or Green -- those subjective assessments require more data than just a schedule review. This tutorial establishes tolerance ranges that color code the Gantt chart for quick identification and further inspection.
Since the Gantt chart evaluates the forecasted tasks based on the Finish and the Baseline Finish columns, it is likely that forecasted tasks will appear in a Red status. Even if you have tasks that are not planned to start in a given time period, the tasks could show up late based on their forecasted finish dates. This occurs because Microsoft Project is calculating a future finish date for each task even if it is different from the Baseline Finish date. Project managers should appreciate this feature, as it draws attention to the tasks that need immediate investigation.
In the Custom Fields dialog box under the Custom Attributes heading, select the Formula radio button. There are a lot of ways to track your project schedule, and Microsoft provides multiple views into project data. The traffic light Gantt chart offers a forecasted view into tasks that are late or are at risk of running behind schedule. Thank you! Any more feedback? The more you tell us the more we can help.
