Creating a task hierarchy

As you plan your project, you may want to organize schedule tasks into sets of related tasks. To do this, you create a task hierarchy made up of summary tasks and subordinate tasks. Summary tasks appear flush left in the task column. Each subordinate task appears indented below its summary task. The project timeline shows the location and duration of each subordinate task, as well as any linked tasks; the summary task appears in another color and its timeline covers the duration of all subordinate tasks.

See these topics for more specific information on working with the task hierarchy:
