Progressing a Schedule Before Baselining

Hello,

After building the project schedule, but before reaching an agreed-to baseline with the client, is it ok to enter progress dates into activities that have taken place in the time between putting the schedule together and reaching the agreed-upon baseline with the client? Or is there a different standard method for doing this?

Hi Jordan,

I'll keep updating the schedule to reflect actuals but without assigning a % complete until the schedule is submitted to the client for approval.

In other words, all activities will appear as Planned Dates but those between Project Start Date and Time Now will reflect reality.
