How to deal with huge projects with sub-projects?

[Anonymous]

Can anyone please explain how to deal with huge projects that have several sub-projects in Outlook (w/ add-in)? I guess you could also view these as goals.

How do you all deal with them?? How do you stop getting confused with how everything links together?

Cheers,
Markus

I've forgotten where, but there's a document on their site that shows you how to setup sub-projects. It works fine.

I just list them as separate projects. In my case, the sub-projects need to get done at the same time or before the big project, so I assign them the same deadline to keep them grouped together, and I also enter the first word of the sub-projects as the same word as the big project so my brain knows they're linked together, but I can still see them all on the projects list. This way they get reviewed together, but I can see clearly where each thing is. Hope that makes sense, and/or is helpful.
