Linking more than one project

How can you link concurrent projects?

RE: Linking more than one project

Hi Liz

Thanks for your question. A quick way to link your projects is to create a new blank project. From the Insert menu choose Insert project... then select the first of the projects you'd like to link. Repeat the process to insert your second project.

In the combined view drag a link between the relevant tasks in the two projects you'd like to join. If necessary double click on the link between the tasks to choose the type of relationship required.

When you've finished close all the files, save all the changes. If you don't need the overview you can delete it and the embedded projects will still remain linked.

I hope this helps - do let us know if you have any further questions.

Kind regards,

Andrew

MS Project tip:

Compare Work and Duration

Duration is the timescale within which a task is done; Work is the specific time element used. For example, 3 days work in a duration of 2 weeks. To compare, add the Work field into the Entry table by right clicking a column heading to Add Field.
