sub tasks starting before their master task is set to start
in [Project]

From: braden on 5 May 2010 10:44 So I have a master project with multiple sub projects. The sub projects need to start at different dates. Rescheduling a sub project to a different date, however, doesn't change its tasks to start on that date (the constraint is set to 'start as early as possible' - but one would think 'as early as possible' is when its master task starts, not when the entire project starts). Rather, the tasks of the sub project with the 'start as early as possible' constraint start at the entire project start date. -- braden ------------------------------------------------------------------------ braden's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/members/216303.htm View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/microsoft-project/1334088.htm http://forums.techarena.in
From: Andrew Lavinsky on 5 May 2010 10:57 The master task is just a rollup of the subtasks. It takes on the earliest start of the subtask. To move things forward, you need to move the subtask forward. You should not be putting any constraints on a master task. In a subproject setting, I would open each project, select Project Information, and modify the Project Start Date there. - Andrew Lavinsky Blog: http://blogs.catapultsystems.com/epm > So I have a master project with multiple sub projects.
