Relationship between Total Scheduled Hours, Total Actual Hours and Total Baseline Scheduled Hours

Hello Hiwot,

An article has been authored that I believe will answer this question. Please ask any follow-up questions here or in the original article if you’d like to know more.

Hello Robert,

Thanks for your reply. If I understood correctly, Total Baseline Scheduled Hours is Routine hours taken from the  baseline task definitions. Suppose a certain work package starts as below. Taking the AMT skill as a sample, the Total Baseline scheduled Hours (133:25) would be the original routine scheduled hours taken from the  baseline task definitions. But, what does the difference between the Total Schedule hours (152:01) and the Total Baseline Schedule Hours (133:25), which is 18:36, mean? I would think that it is for scheduled non routines, but, it can't be because this alone exceeds the Scheduled Non-Routine Hours, which is only 8:30. Can you please clarify?

Thanks, 

Hello Robert,

That has finally answered my question. I was able to validate that with a smaller work package with a variation of only 0:01. It can be concluded that the difference between Total Scheduled and Total Baseline Scheduled Hours is the hours of the Master Panel Cards in the workscope. 

Thanks a lot.
