It would be great to be able to establish a baseline of the project timeline so you can track your actual progress against the āscheduledā timeline.
The baseline feature from Instagantt (integrated partner for Asana?).
Welcome to the Forum and thanks for sharing this idea with us @Danny_Tae_Hoon_Lee, we will definitely evaluate this option for future improvements!

I wish for this every week. Itās a key part of managing stakeholder expectation and reporting results about a project.

+1. My org uses InstaGantt and one requirement for reporting is to track against a Baseline. This feature is essential to a Gantt, and really the only major missing feature for my companyās needs.

Is this something that is being considered at all? Having to report to compliance committees and the information they need really relies on baseline reporting on moved projects and at task level.
Or is there an add on that we can look at?
Hello, I am evaluating the Business version of this product being able to provide what is needed to āmanageā projects. Baselining is, of course, critical to managing projects. I could not find how to baseline and being new to Asana, After researching using Google, Iāve come to understand baseline capability is not native to Asana, that I must go with Instagantt for addition cost. My primary question is whether or not I can reasonably expect this basic PM feature to be implemented anytime soon? Or, where might I find āFeatures for next versionā roadmap for Asana. Thank you.

Is it possible to baseline a schedule in Timeline?
In order to assist you best here, could you please provide some more details on what exactly you hope to achieve with Timeline and what you mean when you refer to ābaselineā?
Looking forward to hearing back from you! 
Iād like to be able to look at the timeline in its original form with start/due dates (baseline schedule) to compare to actual start/completion dates. To baseline is to have a saved view of the original schedule. Can this be done in Timeline view?
Hi @Gerald_Thomas, thanks for getting back to me!
It would not be possible to view the original Timeline prior to any changes, at this time. However, this is a popular request in the Forum so Iāve gone ahead and merged your post with an existing #productfeedback thread to consolidate feedback!
Iāll loop back in with you if I have any updates!

Any progress / roadmap update ?
I have seen a similar ask for baselining in the past, but the provided solution of āTimelineā still falls short of the requirement. We need an easy way to compare dates in list view and to be able to report on the variance in various ways. Would be nice to see a more appropriate solution.

Hi @Brian_Leaton, welcome to the Asana Community Forum 
While this feature isnāt available at this time, hopefully itās something our Product team can implement in the future
We do have an existing thread for this feature request in the #productfeedback category so Iāve gone ahead and merged your post with the existing one to consolidate feedback.
Iāll keep you posted and let you know if I have any updates
It would be a work arround when we had a custom field of the type āDateā (unfortunately not yet available), then I would create a field called āoriginal Due Dateā. And that would give the opportunity to at least track ādue dateā with āoriginal due dateā.
I find it interesting that Asana has published an article about the importance of using project baselines, but doesnāt offer them as a feature. Please consider this another vote/request for a baselining feature!

I agree with Matt here.
What is Asanaās recommended best practice or methodology for baselining a project plan and keeping track of all if its iterations? Any work arounds until this feature is deployed?

Any updates on this 3 years old feature request?

Baselines - any news? This looks like itās been hanging around for a long time and as first time user of asana Iām surprised this pretty standard (and much needed requirement of any project management tracking tool) isnāt available.
