Multi-Project Gantt Chart

How to build a Gantt chart from multiple project plans

If you or your team manage a portfolio of projects, you probably have a need to build Gantt charts that show multiple projects at once. This is not easy to do in Microsoft Project, but with OnePager, you can build a Gantt chart using multiple project plans from Microsoft Project, Project Online, or Project Server.

  5. With all three project plans imported, click Create new Chart to build your multi-project Gantt chart. You'll get something like this:
