Firstly you need to Baseline your plan at the start of the project, when all the planning has been done and you have a plan you are happy with.

Then add the Column 'Finish Variance' to your view.

Whenever the currently forecast Finish date is different to the date it was supposed to have been in the original forecase (i.e. the baselined plan), the difference will be shown in the Finish Variance column.

  • You cannot have baselined at the start correctly. Remember, there is no point baselining now that the variance has occurred. It absolutely does work, I double checked everything I said before posting my answer
