Dependencies between Projects

Information

• There are three ways to map dependencies between projects in PLANTA project: 
  • Direct dependencies between projects
    • This function allows you to define one or more dependent projects for each project.
    • In the Dependencies module, you can create and look at dependencies between projects.
    • The dependencies created here are of purely informative nature and do not have an impact on the dates of the respective projects.
  • Cross-project links
    
    • Cross-project or external links connect the tasks of different projects.
    • Their effect is similar to that of links within a project, i.e. the cross-project links have an influence on the dates of all connected projects.
    • When calculating a project which is connected via external links, the projects it is connected to are included in the calculation. This results in the creation of a total network of all projects involved.

  • External tasks
    • This function allows you to have tasks of another project/program displayed in the schedule of a project/program. You can, e.g., have milestones displayed which are decisive for your own project, which provides a clear overview within the project
    • The display of the tasks of a project in another project is of purely informative nature and has no impact on the dates of the projects involved.
