Hi,
for the last post in this year I choose to show you a very simple Trick. What if you have one Task with multiple Tasks dependencies, and, for some reason you want to remove those dependencies in one step. How to remove those dependencies in Microsoft Project 2016?
First I will build a simple Project with 10 Tasks, and I will set dependencies between them:
Now for some reason I want to keep all dependencies, except dependencies for Task 3, which I do not need any more, so I am going to remove them before I build new one. I have to remove all dependencies for it. Imagine that you have a Project with 1753 Tasks, and Task 3 has many dependencies. You can easily forget to remove dependencies. If you want to be sure that you have remove all dependencies, for example, on Task 3, follow this steps:
and you will get:
As you can see, Task 4,6,7,8 and 9 are not dependent on Task 3 any more.
Easy and effective, isn’t it.
Dear readers, thank you very much for you participation, questions and suggestions.
I wish you all the best in New Year!
