The project I'm working on is broken down into five stages. Running behind then five stages is a phase that requires backlog clearence. Whilst sitting inside the project it is being managed concurrently but seprately. Should open a seperate file for this work or include in the overall proroject file/plan?

Hi Garry

Thanks for your question. It sounds like you need to be able to track both the backlog project and the 5 phase project at the same time but they are not directly linked.

I suggest you create two project files and then combine them into one master project. To do this just create a new project file and from the insert menu browse and select first one then the other project file.

Your new master project will enable you to see and update both projects at the same time.

I hope this helps - do let us know if you have any other questions.

Kind regards,

Andrew
