customers' scheduling needs, we have continued

schedules from Microsoft Office Project Server
and generate a single Milestones presentation
chart.

mean "Task Finish" for your group, and "Critical
Event" for another group? It might be time for
implementing some standard symbology within your
organization.
Having simple symbology
standards which everyone follows for
project communication can save time and
money.

Build a "Free-Form"
Presentation Schedule for MS Project
Do you have a
presentation milestone chart you build regularly
with dates from MS Project? Would you like to
design it yourself instead of using one of the
standard wizard choices?
It's possible to build the
schedule "free-form". Schedules like the
one on the left can be built by "tagging"
symbols with the MS Project unique ID, followed
by the name of the date field and the name of
the field to be used for symbol text.
