Showing logic between two projects

Member for

To show and analyse dependancies between 2 projects I often use a "Inter-Project Links" project, where I work with the Primary Constraint.



Then, as soon as both projects are updated, I open both of these project and the "Inter-Project Links" one, I schedule.

Then I analyse if all dates are OK with the "Trace Logic" buttom in Activity view (that I have customize).

Ha! I am the Chris at Sizewell! I will send you an internal e-mail tomorrow; however after speaking to people it appears we will not need this function however it would still be useful to understand how it works so I’d appreciate a look at the presentation!



Thanks!

That’s brilliant, the gateway WBS sounds very good, how do I construct one of them. I searched the help file, but can’t find any results.



Thanks in advance

Three options that I use are:



1 add a suffix to the activity ID to show dependency and delivery type activities



2 use an activity code to identify dependency and delivery inter project relationships



3 create a gateway WBS and manage all inter project links via the gateway



Hope this helps
