How can I link tasks between projects?

RE: MS Project

Hi Nina

If you the projects are using the same resource pool this is easy. Simply open the resource pool and on the resulting dialog box select the option that opens the resource pool and a master file.

This master file will show all the projects and you can then link tasks in the normal way

MS Project tip:

Keep constraining dates to a minimum

As far as possible avoid fixing the dates of your tasks. For example try to steer of clear dragging task bars in the Gantt chart to move them on the timeline or entering dates directly into the Start / Finish fields.

Date constraints such as these limit Microsoft Project's ability to automatically adjust your project whenever you add, remove or modify the duration of your tasks. Instead use the logic in your task dependencies that link your tasks to enable Project to calculate the start and finish dates for you.
