A baseline saves nearly 20 pieces of information, including totals and time phased information for tasks, resources, and assignments. Baseline will essentially store 5 things: cost, work, duration, start date and finish date. The baseline is a copy of the Start, Finish, Work, and Cost for all the Resources, plus Duration for all the Tasks in your project. When you do a baseline you save the following data about the project at that specific point in time. For detailed information about Baselines, see the Baseline Online Help Article.

If you don’t want to level, you can try other ways to resolve overallocations.
- Replace one resource with another who is available to work at that time.
- Replace more skilled resources on critical tasks early in the project. A more skilled resource is likely to get the same job done in less time.
- Change a task link so that some tasks start at the same time.
- Spread the workload out by Increase the duration of tasks with overallocated resources.
- Reduce workload by reducing the amount of work required for completing the task.
- Change the working hours of resources to shorten the duration of tasks.
- Reduce the duration of tasks, especially critical tasks that directly impact the project end date.
- Check that resources are not working during non-working time. If a resource is working during non-working hours, Project will show them as overallocated.
For detailed information about Resource Overallocation, see the Resource Overallocation Online Help Article.
