	Plan and track project tasks, resources and costs Multi Project Workspace Multi Project Workspace is extremely helpful to project managers when managing several projects to join several projects into one master project making all projects easier to manage because of the one vantage point. The Multi Project Workspace allows you to embed one project into another project with the entire task dependencies preserved along with the synchronization of any changes made in any associated document. In addition it is easy to quickly establish task dependences between tasks located in different projects.

Resource Sheet View Resource Sheet view contains the complete set of information for all resources (names, types, costs, etc.), and allows you to manage these resources over one or many projects. Resource Usage View Resource Usage view displays resource information regarding tasks assigned to each resource in all of the defined projects. The Resource Usage view allows you to plan and manage the contracting of human resources, which are assigned to the different defined tasks in each project. This is a powerful view that gives you better control of your resources.
