I had a similar engagement for a Fed Government Client. What I did was pretty simple, I created a black project and inserted the other projects as the sub-projects, and saved it as the Master project. I then used Office Timeline to import the Master project into Powerpoint slides for Executive review.

Thanks

jeff Heath replied to the topic Representing a fixed cost contract with a cost resource. in the forum Discussion 1 year, 10 months ago

I would attack that situation like this:
1) In the resource sheet, establish that resource’s rate as $0
2) Also in the resource sheet, establish a cost resource name them Task 1, Task 2, Task 3
3) Assign the “work” resource to the tasks
4) At the bottom of the schedule let’s create a section called Invoices
5) Under Invoices create 3 recurring…[Read more]
