1. After status updates are entered, the schedule will be analyzed to determine the impact to the critical path and mitigation plans created if necessary.

iv. All project schedules will be baselined at each gate. However, the G3 baseline will be assigned as the primary baseline in P6.
v. Baselines should be labeled to identify the corresponding gate.
