Task -> Seperate project

Hi,

Is there a way to take a task (with numerous sub-tasks) out of project and make it into an individual project?

Purpose: After creating a project you would like to give control to one member of your team of a certain task, without giving them the full master project.

Thanks

Dougy

RE: Task -> Seperate project

The only way I know of doing this is to copy the section of the project into a new project. Then replace the selection in the original section with a linked project.

You will need to re-link and links the selection had to the rest of the project.

The does not appear to be an automatic method of splitting a project file into seperate projects.

Ms project tip:

Keep constraining dates to a minimum

As far as possible avoid fixing the dates of your tasks. For example try to steer of clear dragging task bars in the Gantt chart to move them on the timeline or entering dates directly into the Start / Finish fields.

Date constraints such as these limit Microsoft Project's ability to automatically adjust your project whenever you add, remove or modify the duration of your tasks. Instead use the logic in your task dependencies that link your tasks to enable Project to calculate the start and finish dates for you.
