Multiple Projects Same Resources

[Ryan H]

We're running multiple projects simultaneously, sometimes multiple
projects for the same client. And we have a single, mostly generalized
resources.

We can use a single resource pool, but I'm wondering about using
master and subprojects. We will need to be able to prioritize tasks
across projects so that we can do something like the following:
- Project 1: Task 1
- Project 2: Task 1
- Project 1: Task 2
- Project 3: Task 1

So my question is basically whether or not you can manipulate task
priorities across subprojects?

Thanks,
Ryan

Hi,

Yes. You can use Resource Leveling, which uses priorities, throughout alll
project linked to a resource pool.
It may come out HANDY (but not more than that) to show the result in a
master project.
What I mean is the master is only a shell SHOWING several products
simultaneously, it does not as such integrate anything and does not add
function.
The consolidation comes from the resource pool.
I never explicitly make a master project, when I need one I open the
resource pool with the 3rd option, that creates one for me.
