Instructions

To build a clinical milestone tracker like the example above, follow these instructions:

  1. Download one set of the sample files listed above. The Microsoft Project and Excel files contain the milestones themselves, and the matching OnePager template file has most of the settings that drive the look and feel of the Gantt chart based on the data from either Project or Excel. Save both files to your desktop.

  2. Open the Microsoft Project or Excel plan.

  3. Once the project plan is open, go to Add-Ins and click the OnePager button.

  4. When the start screen appears, click NEW to build a new chart.

  5. Change OnePager's default template to the one downloaded above, making sure that you pick the template that matches the Microsoft Project or Excel plan that you downloaded. To do this, click on Change, and then BROWSE FILES to the OnePager template (*.tat) file. This OnePager template contains most of the data-driven formatting (colors, layout, etc.) that give this clinical milestone tracker its specific look.

    Use a Custom OnePager Template

  6. With the template loaded, click on Create New Project View to build your chart. It should closely match the example at the top of this article.

  7. If you want to align the phase gate milestones in the top swimlane differently, you can drag them up and down with your mouse to achieve the desired layout.

  8. You can fine-tune the position of task and milestone labels by selecting the task or milestone and then using the text positioning controls on the Home tab of OnePager. Dependency lines can also be repositioned using your mouse if a line crosses a task in a way that makes it look too busy.
