About Office Timeline

Office Timeline is an on-premise project scheduler and timeline maker that helps businesses create visual project timelines and Gantt charts. The solution directly integrates into Microsoft PowerPoint as an add-on and allows users to create customizable project visuals for their audience using the PowerPoint application. Office Timeline is equipped with designer tools suitable for project managers, marketers, consultants, knowledge workers and IT professionals.

With Office Timeline Wizard, new users can learn to create timelines by following guided instructions. The solution comes with multiple templates that feature different visual styles, colors and content. Office Timeline also integrates with other applications such as Microsoft Excel, Wrike and Smartsheet for importing and exporting data pointers.

Office Timeline works with Microsoft PowerPoint 2007 and later editions installed on Windows-based systems. The solution is available on a subscription basis. Support is offered via phone during business hours on weekdays and through an online knowledge base.

Making Timelines of Important data has never been this easy! A few clicks, population, done!

The software made it so much easier to present detailed, informative, and engaging Timelines to customers, as well as to other stakeholders in the projects in which I am involved. It allowed me to pull the audience into the detail without risking boredom. The number of themes available for different types of timelines, as well as the small details that can be customised right out of the box are really great.

Functionality

Pros:

The software being integrated directly with Microsoft PowerPoint makes life so much easier as it adds your timeline directly to a slide you're using. The timeline is made up of shapes and objects commonly available in MS PowerPoint, but there is a lot of intelligence built into it. The object created is not static, but can be edited to change details afterwards by using the simple User Interface provided. The Interface follows the design of PowerPoint and almost seems to be a standard part of the package. Really great software for any level of user.

Cons:

The software does not create a grouped object on your slide, but a huge quantity of loose objects. If you move an object around, it will move, unless you edit your timeline through the UI. Whilst this is a nice feature to allow for unique customisation, it adds an element of complexity that not all users will appreciate. (The only reason Ease of Use loses a star.)

Vendor Response

Hi, Rick! Thank you for reviewing Office Timeline! It¿s great to hear that you are overall pleased with the add-in¿s performance and output. When manually changing the elements of your timeline, please click the Accept button on the Office Timeline ribbon. The add-in can handle a variety of custom changes, but there are some that it doesn't support. When clicking Accept, the manual edits that are supported will be saved, while any formatting that is not supported will be reset to default. A solution for the latter case is to make these unsupported manual changes right at the end, after you've finished editing your graphic. Also, to group multiple tasks on a single row, the Tasks-in-a-row functionality may be helpful. You can learn more about it here: https://support.officetimeline.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000299847-How-to-show-multiple-tasks-on-one-row For further assistance, please contact us at support[at]officetimeline.com.

Perfect for Gantt Charts, Workflows and Roadmaps

I was preparing a research project for a national fellowship and needed a Gantt chart to explain my plan visually. That is how I came across Office Timeline, a PowerPoint add-on that helped me to nail my planning. I could tweak every aspect of the timeline, moving dates from the calendar, adding milestones and swimlanes, connecting parts from the project, and so on. Since that successful time, Office Timeline has become an indispensable tool whenever I have to prepare a research or teaching project.

Ease of use

Functionality

Pros:

What I like most about this software is its easy use for non-design experts like me. When you have to showcase your future work, this tool allows you to offer a comprehensive overview of the "whats" and the "when" of your project. It creates colorful timelines, easy to adjust if changes happen. You can also customize symbols, arrows, lines, and so on. The templates are handy if you are not used to Gantt/Timeline charts because you can get an idea to follow, depending on your needs.

Cons:

It is an expensive software (even the Basic option) for those who are only occasionally in the project management/planning business. In any case, there is a generous two-week testing-for-free period.

Reasons for switching to Office Timeline

I did not have the technical ability to design a lovely and clear Gantt Chart from PowerPoint, while Online Gantt was not as gorgeous as Office Timeline is.

Vendor Response

Thank you for your purchase and review of the Office Timeline add-in, Alberto! I am glad that the tool helps you showcase your project plans through colorful timelines that are easy to update, and that you consider our product to be a quality, simple-to-use Gantt chart and timeline maker. In terms of the add-in's price, we do strive to ensure value for money and provide the best experience possible by constantly improving it. We release new functionalities on a regular basis, and your subscription entitles you to free updates and access to upcoming features, so that you always get the best of Office Timeline. So, once again, thank you for choosing our product and for your great feedback on its productivity! Best wishes, Sebastian Stingu – Head of Marketing

Pros:

Easy to create time-plans and Gantt charts for project management. Can be edited and customised quickly. Ready made templates are available.

Cons:

The product offers fixed time splitting - in case the splits could be more controllable by user, would have added to the feature as sprints can be either a one week or two week deliverable which is based on tasks.

Vendor Response

Hi, Simisara! Thank you for using Office Timeline and for taking the time to review it. We're happy to learn that you consider the add-in to be a quality, well-integrated project management tool that allows you to easily create and customize timelines and Gantt charts with which you are pleased. With regards to a more varied timescale segmentation, I'm excited to inform you that our dev team is working on providing users with more control over that aspect. Although I don't have an exact release date for it, any new functionality or enhancement added is announced through notifications. So please make sure you update your app when notified so you can enjoy its latest improvements. Best wishes, Sebastian Stingu - Head of Marketing

Office Timeline offers an intuitive and user-friendly interface, making it easy to create and manage project timelines. The duplicate and drag-and-drop features significantly enhance productivity.

Cons:

The style pane currently lacks a sufficient range of font sizes, particularly smaller options, which can limit customization and visual clarity in certain timeline formats.

A Great Schedule Presentation Tool

It's a great tool to present the schedule and the critical logic to the managers and other departments in one page. I tried many and I'd say Office Timeline is the best so far. Importing function should be improved to make the updating faster.

Pros:

It's very easy for audiences to understand the high-level schedule. The relationships are very helpful to show the logic.

Cons:

Cannot import data without ruining the existing format. You have to manually change the activity descriptions and dates. Otherwise, it would give you a totally different format. There's a glitch when typing dates as well. You have to try a couple times to make the numbers right.

Hi Ellie, Thanks so much for sharing this — it truly means a lot to hear that the tool is helping and fitting so well into your workflow. Knowing it’s saving you time and that you’re enjoying the customization options is exactly the kind of feedback that keeps us going! I also appreciate you sharing your thoughts on the Free edition. It’s meant to give a solid introduction to the core features, though it does come with some limitations by design. While it may not cover everything — especially for more complex projects — we hope it still gives you a good sense of what the tool can do. If there’s anything I can help with or if you’d like tips on getting the most out of your current setup, feel free to reach out — happy to help however I can.
