Making a task a subtask in Microsoft Project is quick—it’s all about indenting the task. Here’s exactly how to do it:
- Open the 'Task' tab and make sure you are in 'Gantt Chart' view.
- Click the tasks you want to turn into a subtask.
- Click the tasks you want to turn into a subtask.
- The task becomes a subtask, and the task directly above it becomes the summary task.
