<\/a><\/p>\nGrowing with your needs<\/h4>\n
The Tasks list is a great place to get organized around the team\u2019s work, but sometimes the scope of a project will grow into something larger that needs a greater level of control, structure, and reporting. In these cases, you can open a task list in Microsoft Project 2013. Click the \u201cOpen in Project\u201d button in the ribbon to get great reporting features and an even higher level of organization to track your project schedule and deadlines, and saving in Project will synchronize changes directly back into the list for everyone to share. This will be covered in more detail in an upcoming post.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
