Yes, a baseline is the initial schedule for a project developed during the project planning phase. The baseline is used to measure changes to the project schedule during execution. Think of a baseline as the initial snapshot of the project when it starts so that during and after the project we can see how successful we were in our planning processes and use that for future improvement efforts.
