linking dependencies between projects in Project Server

[Texas Tonie]

Does Project Server provide a new way of linking dependencies across projects
or is the 'old' method of linking cells between MPP files still the mechanism
to use.

Also, does Project Server allow for easier update / display of dependent
tasks between projects: was there anything more put in place to manage tasks
across projects?

Tonie -

One new feature is Deliverable, which allows you link and update task
output in both WSS and in the project schedule. Of course, you can
always usee a hammock tasks or other dependency links between
projects. Deliverables is a handy way to manage it though.

Hope this helped,
