Thanks for a really informative session on Best Practices for Baselining and Variance Analysis.
I am currently using MS Project 2016
I have a task that is 15% complete but their has been a change in the project and the task is no longer required. The project has been baselined.
How should I treat with this task in going forward?
Also, could I get a copy of the schedule Dale Howard was using in the webinar.
Deborah — Set the Remaining Work to 0h on the in-progress task. This will cancel the remaining work, but preserve the historical actual work completed on the task. — eDale
