How our templates make a difference – real user feedback

  • This is a great tool for automating creation of project roadmaps and other timetable visualizations. The built-in templates also have a nice selection of design elements and scenarios to choose from. Making changes and updates is also quite intuitive. Overall, this has helped create consistency in the outputs within the team I am a part of, who all use this as well. This also makes our work more efficient as opposed to the tediousness of shifting, resizing, etc. of chevrons or shapes if done manually.

  • The templates for timelines were very user-friendly and provided me with fantastic optics! I look forward to my continual use of this product!

  • The software is fantastic, saves so much time and editing is so easy. The software is really user-friendly and has so many great features and options / templates. I used to create these charts from scratch before and it took a lot of time and edits were not easy.

  • The ability to quickly create visual artifacts to show scope and timeline is impressive! I love the ability to quickly and effectively present a timeline in PPT. The predefined "styles"& templates help speed up the process dramatically. I have used it for internal and client-facing presentations, and the visual clarity it brings helps to pull the audience's attention back - when the volume of data is overwhelming.

  • Amazing. Couldn't believe that such a product exists. In just a few clicks I have in my hands a powerful presentation with a timeline that being a project or an entire program. I took off my hands hours of work with Office Timeline. Very easy to use, great templates and highly customizable.
