Critical Path in Projects with Interdependencies

D

D Brian

I am managing multiple projects and there are interdependencies among the
projects. I have built a master project and inserted the applicable projects
within the master project. When I link tasks between two projects, the linked
task only has either a predecessor or successor from the linked project and
is missing the complementary predecessor or successor. The problem this
causes is that I then have an unconnected activity and the critical path no
longer shows up. Is there an integrated fix for this in MS Project?

Hi D Brian,

Try Tools > Options, Calculation tab. Enable (check) Calculate multiple
critical paths.

I hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.
