Discussion

You can begin a new project by copying the task names from a previous project. When you copy only the task names, the task durations are not included. All copied tasks appear in the new project file with an estimated duration of one day. The advantage of copying only the task names is that you can then create a fresh baseline plan. You can set task durations, link tasks, and apply constraints, as if you had typed the tasks to start a new project. In addition, you can create and assign only those resources you need for this project. You may need to select all task and change Task Scheduling to Auto Schedule.
