Development of MS project

Compatability between MS project and other MS Office products would be very useful, are any such developments in the pipeline?

RE: Development of MS project

Hi Chris

Thanks for your question.

There are already some connection built in for example in Project you can use File > Save As and set the output to Excel workbook

From the analysis toolbar (View > Toolbars > Analysis there is an export button that lets you create a WBS in Visio)

Viso too will import MS Project information. In Visio create a New > Project Schedule > Timeline. Then from the timeline menu import your project.

I hope these suggestions help - do let us know if you have any further questions.

Kind regards,
Andrew

MS Project tip:

Link tasks using predecessor column - project

a. First, note ID number of the task you want to link to (predecessor). Then, in the predecessor column of the task you want to link to (successor), type the predecessor task's ID number.
b. The link will be a Finish to Start (the default type).
c. Or you can add in a code for a different relationship type
i. SS = Start to Start
ii. FF = Finish to Finish
iii. SF = Start to Finish
d. You don't have to type the task ID numbers in any specific order, but you must separate multiple tasks with commas.
