Time-Scaled Logic Diagram (TSLD)

This TSLD, created in OnePager Pro, gives users an overview of the critical path for a project, but does so in a more compact timeline layout instead of a traditional Gantt chart which often takes up more space.

OnePager TSLD Features

The time-scaled logic diagram features:

Automatically coloring tasks red when they are on the critical path.
Display of dependencies, filtered so that only predecessors and successors that are on the critcal path are displayed.
Grouping of tasks into swimlanes based on the phase of the project to which they belong.
Placement of multiple tasks into the same row, when possible, to save on space, compared to a traditional Gantt chart.
Federal fiscal year displayed on the time axis instead of calendar year.

This TSLD was created using OnePager Pro, a project reporting tool that works with Microsoft Project.

Sample Files

This time-scaled logic diagram was built using the following files, which you can download if you'd like to create something similar:

Microsoft Project
Primavera P6

Microsoft Project Samples

TSLD.mpp (Microsoft Project Plan)

TSLD (Project).tat (OnePager Template)

Microsoft Project Instructions

To build a time-scaled logic diagram like the example above, follow these instructions:

Download the sample files listed above. There is one Microsoft Project file and one OnePager template file. Save both files to your desktop or to your downloads folder.
Open the Microsoft Project file.
Once Microsoft Project is open, go to Add-Ins and click the OnePager Pro button.
When the start screen appears click NEW to build a new chart.
With the Microsoft Project file ready for import, we need to change OnePager's default template to the one downloaded above. To do this, click on Change, and then BROWSE FILES to the OnePager template (*.tat) file. This OnePager template contains all of the data-driven formatting (colors, layout, etc.) that give this TSLD its specific look.
With the Project file ready and the custom OnePager template selected, click on Create New Chart to build your TSLD. It should closely match the example at the top of this article.

Primavera P6 Instructions

To build a time-scaled logic diagram like the example above, follow these instructions:

Download the sample files listed above. There is one Primavera P6 file and one OnePager template file. Save both files to your desktop or to your downloads folder.
Click the OnePager icon on your desktop.
When the start screen appears, click NEW to build a new chart.
Go to Select > BROWSE Primavera P6 Files, and then point OnePager to the Primavera P6 XER file that you downloaded from above. You may need to change the filter at the bottom of the Open File screen to show XER files instead of XML files.
With the Primavera P6 file ready for import, we need to change OnePager's default template to the one downloaded above. To do this, click on Change, and then BROWSE FILES to the OnePager template (*.tat) file. This OnePager template contains all of the data-driven formatting (colors, layout, etc.) that give this TSLD its specific look.
With the template loaded, click on Create New Chart to build your chart. It should closely match the example at the top of this article.
If you'd like to modify our example Primavera P6 project, you can import the XER file into your own Primavera P6 environment by going to File > Import and choosing the Primavera PM - (XER) option.
