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.
The following elements are not exported:
- Suppressed activities
