How do we link the duration of various tasks in Microsoft Project so that once we change the duration of a task, it should also reflect in all other linked tasks?

Answer 1

Microsoft Project Level I:

I have developed and used this courseware for over 25 years to teach Microsoft Project to over 1,500 students.

This free Microsoft Project Level 1 courseware is designed to show students how to create and modify task lists, establish a project schedule, set milestones, outline the project, filter tasks, assign task relationships, assign lead and lag times, and create calendars.

This courseware is an excellent "6" hour class that covers the basics of time management with the following topics:

• Lesson 1 Creating a Task List

• Lesson 2 Entering Summary Information

• Lesson 3 Outlining the Project

• Lesson 4 Changing the Task List

• Lesson 5 Assigning Task Relationship and Lead/Lag Times

• Lesson 6 Filtering Task Information

• Lesson 7 Creating Calendars

• Lesson 8 Putting It All Together (Creating a Simple Project)



This courseware is free for my tutoring sessions and includes "8" completed project files.

This is the first of two courses.

Answer 2

Use the predecessor field, when you change a task, it will reschedule / update all linked tasks.
