I ran across an interesting issue recently and I wanted to share the solution.á I am currently working on a fairly large project.á We have had a turbulent start and I was not able to baseline my project plan before my developers began working on their tasks.á I knew that from a schedule standpoint we were hosed, but other Earned Value calculations should still be ok.á I baselined my project plan but discovered an issue.á When I refereshed my project plan from TFS, all of the baselines were wiped out because 0's were stored in TFS!
The fix turned out to be easy.á Here is what I did:
- I used the tfsfieldmapping.exe to download the field mappings for MS Project.
- Iáremoved the field mapping for the baseline field and uploaded the new mappings to project.
- I refreshed my project plan to collected the hours entered by my developers.
- I added the field mapping for Baseline back into the MS Project field mappings.
- I published the Projectáback to TFS with the baselines.
Hope this helps you sometime.
Happy Coding!
