What are some of the reasons that projects dates and costs get off track? How can a baseline on a current project help with future planning?

What will be an ideal response?

Some of the reasons project dates and cost get off track include the original plan not being accurate or no longer being accurate because the scope of the project has crept or because the nature of the project has changed. Other possible reasons for changes in the original plan include weather-related delays, labor issues, or personal problems such as missed time with specific resources. Baseline information that consistently differs from current data provides you with variance information so that you can plan better for future projects with better estimates for costs and dates.
