What is the baseline date?

The Baseline Date is a critical factor in successful project planning. It establishes the standard against which the project's progress will be measured and tracked.

In essence, a baseline date is your plan freeze date - the original approved plan stipulating when tasks were supposed to start and finish, resource allocation required, and the planned cost. This snapshot of your project schedule at a specific point in time serves as a reference for gauging project performance.
