Total Slack Calculation Incorrect in SubProjects vs MasterPlan

JulieS · #1 05-30-2016, 04:32 PM

Do you have any tasks in the master project that are not part of the subproject? Normally negative total slack is from a missed deadline or constraint. Have you added constraints in the master project that are not in the subprojects?

Hi Julie,

thank you for your reply.

I have a constraint in Sub - Project B, however I don't see why the negative slack wouldn't appear in project A anyway, since the activities in this file are preceding Project B.

Are you opening subproject A outside of the master project? If so, it is not calculating the negative slack due to its relationship to project B.
