Project Consolidation
Stay focused on the big picture while you monitor the progress of project teams. Consolidate separate FastTrack Schedule files into a single master file to view multiple projects or a multi-phased project. Easily merge files to report overall project status or drill-down into distinct project phases. Update projects in a master file individually or all at once, while team members continue to work in subordinate files. By consolidating schedules, planning and controlling projects is easier than ever.
