Publishing a Master Project. Is this a BUG ?
in [Project]
|
From: wasonamit on 14 May 2008 09:38 Hi, We created a Master Project in PS2007 and inserted sub-projects in it as read-only. But when we publish the Master Project it also publishes assignments updates of the sub-projects although these projects are read-only. We would like to avoid it. I was thinking of breaking the Link and Publishing it and re-establish the link after publishing the master. Any thoughts ?
From: wasonamit on 14 May 2008 09:53 Alright I broke the link and published the master now the resources gets an email that they are assigned to the Master. and then i cannot re-establish the link to the sub-project. Any help will be appreciated.

From: MT_PMP on 15 May 2008 12:19 How are you "publishing" your Master Project? I use a "program level" project to link all of the projects I am working on together under one summary task and use that to speak with managers and stakeholders. When doing this, I use the "Insert Project" command under the Insert Menu and I have no issues whatsoever. If you provide a little more insight into your particular issue, I may be able to lead you in the right direction. -- If this response was helpful to you, please consider rating it!

From: wasonamit on 15 May 2008 14:10 I think Program Level and Master Projects are the same thing. Correct me if I am wrong. We have projects which are published in Project Server So I then Open a new project Insert > Projects > Retrieve the list.. > select the project Select Read-only... INSERT The new project in which we just embedded is the master project which we want to display in PWA > Project Center So we publish > but it also publishes the embedded project.

From: MT_PMP on 15 May 2008 16:19 That's what I was thinking you were doing. At this point, I can't give you anymore input because we have yet to deploy MS Project Server in our organization. We've had a demo of it and senior mgmt is considering the ROI. Hopefully, someone else can give you some feedback here. -- If this response was helpful to you, please consider rating it!
