Dear All,

I have a concern about one topic in project management which is Rolling-wave Planning.

I'm in the process of creating a schedule baseline. I would like to use "rolling wave planning" to create my schedule - only put in detailed activities for near future work and high level information for the activities in the far future.

I'm wondering how this works with creating a baseline - as my baseline should be a "frozen" plan to compare my project "actual" as the project is being executed.

I appreciate if you can help me in my situation as I am confused. Shall I baseline only what is clear with adding the high level requirements and related activities, Or I baseline what is clear without adding those they are not clear.

Nice reference to effectively planning with buffers. I think that approach can really be helpful in setting expectations and managing to commitments that are not off the charts on risk, whether for current or future phases. ProChain does this well.
