See if you can figure out what was changed. When this is set up, go and make some changes in your plan.
The bars are drawn in list order, so if you put the silver bar last it will hide the red and green ones. When you are done, the barstyle dialog box should show the three bars as below. We use a green bar for this and set it to draw from Finish1 to Finish. Then we create a bar to show if tasks have pulled in.Project will only draw this bar if the second date is later than the first date. We use a red bar for this and set it to draw from Start1 to Start.
Next we create a bar to show if tasks have slipped later than originally planned. For this we are using a "silver" colored bar drawn from Start1 to Finish1. Formatting the barstyles is done by going to the Format menu and selecting Format Barstyles Next we need to set up the barstyles to show three things. In this example we are using Start1 and Finish1 to store the dates. To do this go to the Tools menu, select Tracking, then Set Baseline. The first step is to save an interim plan. If you add a couple barstyles to your view you can easily see all changes that were made in an editing session. It stores the start and finish dates of tasks into the user defined start and finish fields (Start1-Start10 and Finish1-Finish10). An interim plan is really a very simple baseline. That is through the use of an Interim Plan. But we have no way of knowing from this feature.įortunately Project has had the ability to show the effects of changes in a robust and persistant way. 
This is a very simple project and all the changes are one for one, but in some cases a major change to one task may change another by only a very small amount.
Third, we don't know the magnitude of the change. Second, as soon as we make another change, the highlighting will change to tasks affected by the second change. First, we don't know whether the change was a good change or a bad change. This is certainly very useful, but it is missing a few things. The blue highlighting shows the fields which have changed due to the first change. For example, the screenshot below shows how changing Task A from one day to two days affects the start and finish dates for all the other tasks: It shows how a change to one task affects others which have dependencies on it. Microsoft Project 2007 has a new feature called "Change Highlighting".
