18 Slides, Timeline Layouts: What You Get
18 editable slides arrive in both POTX and PPTX formats.
Each slide contains dedicated Gantt bars for task sequencing plus separate dependency lines and milestone markers that snap into place during edits.
Horizontal timeline bars with external connectors set this layout apart from workflow-focused sets that rely on vertical flow arrows instead of time-based sequencing.

Adapting the Template to Your Brand
- Open the .pptx or .potx file in PowerPoint 2016 or later (1 minute)
- Replace placeholder text with your content (3 minutes)
- Adjust brand colors via the slide master (2 minutes)
- Edit diagram labels and connectors (4 minutes)
- Export as PPTX or PDF (1 minute)
Editing difficulty: Moderate.
Why This Template, Not a Blank Slide
Building equivalent Gantt slides from scratch takes four hours even for an experienced user because alignment of bars and dependency lines demands precise manual positioning.
This layout places labels outside the shapes connected by thin lines so readability holds during live meetings without extra editing steps.
Many presentations place labels directly inside diagram shapes yet that approach fails on projection screens.

Which PowerPoint versions support these files?
The template opens in PowerPoint 2016, 2019 and Microsoft 365 on both Windows and Mac systems. Earlier versions may show limited editing for advanced connectors.

How do I change the color scheme?
