Create a Presentation Master Schedule

From several Microsoft Office Project Server Projects

 

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 2003 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.

Next, for this example, we inserted 3 of the projects which we stored on Project server.
 
Within Microsoft Office Project:
 
  1. Insert Project, Project 2

  2. Insert Project, Project 3

  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.
