Presenting Microsoft Project Data with Visio

If you already have a project schedule built in Microsoft Project, the main reason to view that data in Visio is to present your project information more effectively. You can transfer all tasks in a project or only top-level tasks, summary tasks, milestones, or any combination of these. Then, you can use the shapes and formatting tools in Visio to highlight crucial information. Although Visio includes four templates for schedule-oriented information, only the Timeline and Gantt Chart templates include wizards for displaying the Microsoft Project data you export in Visio diagrams.
