How do I link projects together

RE: microsoft project

Hi Liz

Thank you for your question. One way to link projects is to create a new blank project and from the Insert menu choose Project... then browse to find the first project you are looking for. Then repeat the process to add more projects as needed. You can then click and drag between the bars that represent each task to create links across multiple projects. If you need to change the link from FS to one of the other types of link try double clicking the link and choosing the correct type of relationship from the menu.

I hope this helps - let us know if you have other questions.

Kind regards,

Andrew


 

MS Project tip:

Typing Links Between Tasks

In the Entry table, use the Precessors column to type in links. Type the previous task's ID to link. To change the link, add FS (Finish-Start), FF (Finish-Finish), and so on, and + duration to add a Lag, or - duration for a Lead time. Example: for task 5, 4FS+1w ... task 4 preceeds task 5, finish to start, with a week lag between.
