• Key Concepts: 
  A dependent project is a project in SAP Project and Portfolio Management (PPM-PRO) that is dependent on the completion of another project. This means that the dependent project cannot begin until the other project is completed. The other project is known as the “parent” project. Dependent projects are useful for ensuring that all tasks related to a particular project are completed in the correct order. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In order to create a dependent project, you must first create the parent project. Once the parent project is created, you can then create the dependent project and link it to the parent project. This will ensure that the dependent project cannot begin until the parent project is completed. You can also set up dependencies between tasks within a single project, so that one task cannot begin until another task is completed. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating dependent projects, it is important to consider how long each task will take and how long it will take for the parent project to be completed. This will help you plan out your timeline and ensure that all tasks are completed in the correct order. Additionally, it is important to keep track of any changes made to either the parent or dependent projects, as this could affect the timeline of both projects.
