Exporting To Microsoft Project

Non-suppressed activities and tasks may be exported as Microsoft Project® tasks. Children of elements will be exported as summary tasks.

Dependencies in the work breakdown structure are carried over to Microsoft Project®. If there are circular dependencies in work breakdown structure, Microsoft Project will issue a warning but will accept the circular dependencies.

Roles are exported as Microsoft Project® resources. They are connected to tasks or summary tasks as follows:

• If a task is not suppressed the primary and additional performer roles are associated with it.

 

• If an activity has all of its children suppressed the primary and additional performers of all of its suppressed children are assigned to it. This activity exports as a Microsoft Project® task because it has no children.

Work products are not exported.

Microsoft Project® sets the start and end dates for the project automatically. You will need to adjust them after the export has completed by using Microsoft Project®.
