Linking projects

How do you link multiple projects under one umbrella project title where the hours add up to show a grand total?

RE: Linking projects

Hi Natasha,

Thank you for your question and welcome to the forum.

I will have a look at your question over the weekend and hopefully find a solution for you.

Hope you enjoyed the course.

RE: Linking projects

Hi Simon

Any joy on getting an answer to this? I am trying to put our project plan together but I'm still struggling with putting multiple projects on one sheet and getting the amount of time taken to add up to a total amount of days per project.....is this even possible or does each project have to go on a different sheet?

Thanks

Tash

RE: Linking projects

Hi Natasha,

Sorry for the delay in responding.

Are the projects starting at the same time and running concurrently?

I have tried creating a master project and linked the first task of the second project to the first task of the first project using a Start to Start relationship and then added the Project Summary Task.

The Project Summary task summarises from the date of the first project start date until the finish date of the second project.

I have attached a project to show you the example. Not sure how the project summary task can be summarised to add up the two individual durations of each project.

You could always try a Report.

I hope this helps.

Regards

Simon
