My company and 2 others are working together on building a product, and have
been asked to integrate all of our schedules. After discussion, we are going
to use an approach such that we create a Master "shell" schedule, that links
to the sub-schedules. Since all 3 companies are working as a collaborative
effort, there are dependencies between each company. Company A cannot start
work until Company B finishes their portion. In order to properly track
these tasks, we are going to create milestones in the Master Shell, that link
to each company's task so that we can easily track when something is slipping
or not. If Company A slips their finish date by 1 week, then that will push
the Shell Milestone, which will then push Company B's start date. We chose
to have this milestone's in a seperate schedule/section to easily track
deliverables. Whenever the shell schedule is opened, it automatically links
to the subschedules, and get's the most up to date information. My question
is, is there an easy reporting mechanism, in project that shows how many
dates each milestone moves? I am looking for like a Before/After snapshot of
the effects of updating each company's schedule. Thanks for your help!
