Hi,

Can you share some details about the new “Baseline with Task level variance” feature which its rollout start is targeted to Nov 24? Besides a very short statement of “Capture a Baseline of your plan and view plan and task-level variances to know if the plan is on track or delayed” at the M365 Roadmap tool, I couldn’t find any more details which will give a clear picture if that new feature will indeed fully respond to the need to manage task based baseline evaluation through the Planner UI without the forcing us to try analyzing the content through Dataverse and Power BI…

Specifically, I’m looking for clarifications regarding the following:

Will variances be highlighted, showing differences in start and finish dates, durations, and other metrics?Will tasks be color-coded to indicate their status? For example, green for on track, yellow for at risk, and red for behind schedule?Will it be possible to generate reports based on these variances related data for further analysis?

Any additional data about the capabilities and behavior of this new key feature will be much appreciated!

Thank you.
