Schedule Baseline

What's the difference between Project Schedule and Schedule Baseline?
Just like your photograph is a snapshot of you, a Schedule Baseline is a snapshot of a Project Schedule. However, it's not an ordinary snapshot.Schedule Baseline is an "approved" version of the Project Schedule.

Let's review the major differences:
    Project Schedule is a "living" document, whereas Schedule Baseline is "frozen".
    Project Schedule is the "actual", whereas Schedule Baseline is the "plan".
    Project Schedule is a Project Document, whereas Schedule Baseline is a part of the Project Management Plan.
    Project Schedule is updated as the project is being executed, whereas Schedule Baseline is revised only as a result of an approved change.
    Schedule performance is measured by comparing the actual (Project Schedule) vs the baseline (Schedule Baseline).
    At the beginning of project execution, the Project Schedule is the same as the Schedule Baseline. As work is done on the project, the actual progress is updated on the project schedule. At any given date, the latest version of the actual (project) schedule is referred to as the "Project Schedule".
