Add "Baselines" to track any amends to the project

If you want to track the amends to your bar chart throughout the job (ie. weather delays) then you can store a baseline which will indicate on the revised bar chart where the work should have commenced. This is indicated by a black bold line underneath each amended phase of the job.

It's useful to use Baselines in construction so you can analyse the impact of the delay on the job, both for the customer and for your own assessment of how you're doing vs your initial estimate for completion.

Show planned vs actual progress on the job

Labels showing the actual quantity of days you are into a task, as well as colour-coding on the bar chart, indicates how complete each task is. (In the example above the green area of the bar shows how complete each task is along with the number of days as a label on the chart.)
