In today’s high-volume workplace, it is unusual for project managers to have only a single project on their plate. In most cases, project managers have to juggle multiple projects at different stages with different resources—some that relate to each other, and some that stand alone. With Project’s master and subproject features, you can link related—and even unrelated—projects to see them all in one place, compare timelines, run consolidated reports, link tasks, and share resources. A department, for example, could have one master project file that shows every project going on in the department, while each project manager has their own subproject file to work with that only shows their projects.
In this chapter, you’ll learn how to become an even better project manager by keeping your eye on the big picture and still noticing the details. Here’s what we’ll cover:
Saving a project workspace
Creating master and subprojects
Linking tasks that cross projects
Creating and using a shared resource pool
