Milestones Professional and Milestones Project Companion can
work with Microsoft Project Server 2003 or later. It's possible to
combine several published schedules from Microsoft Office Project
Server and generate a single Milestones presentation chart.
In this article, you will learn how to:
combine Microsoft Project Server files into a
single master file.
import that master file into Milestones for
presentation.
refresh that Milestones presentation schedule.
This Milestones schedule shows what we want
to create: a summary of multiple Microsoft Project files.
Then, we simply want to "refresh" this presentation schedule
with the latest Microsoft Project changes.
First, logon to Microsoft Project Server.
Create a Microsoft Project Master Schedule
Next, for this example, we inserted 3 of the
projects which we stored on Project server.
Within Microsoft Office Project:
Insert Project,
Project 2
Insert Project,
Project 3
Insert Project,
Project 5
Don't publish this project to the Project Server;
instead, save it locally as a file.
Here is the resulting Milestones schedule, which
we can now format to meet any reporting needs.
After some basic formatting changes, this is our
executive-level Milestones presentation schedule.
