It will create a timeline with milestones and tasks as a slide in PPT. It uses Excel for easy data entry/editing and allows a variety of styles. I've been surprised how many uses I've found for it - normally communicating process for a project. The results have gotten consistent positive comments - and it doesn't take much time. > > **Cons**: There is a bit of a learning curve, but it's worth it. Use their videos and tutorials, the time is well spent. ----- ### "Value and Versatility" — 4.0/5 > **Nick** | *19 August 2021* | Mental Health Care | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Office Timeline has given us the ability to provide our donors and stakeholders with a dynamic view of the projects that we are engaged in. It adds a level of professionalism to our PowerPoint presentations that we had previously been unable to achieve. Rather than generic charts and reports, our donors and stakeholders are able to see graphic representations of exactly where their money and resources are going. > > **Cons**: The software requires the operator to have access to significant amounts of information to be able to provide the best outcomes. This has prevented us from being able to roll out its use to our entire staff. > > Office Timeline has given us an edge on other similar businesses. Our donors have frequently commended us on the professionalism of our reports and presentations. Being able to reach new supporters and maintain satisfaction with our current supporters through the functions that Timeline provides has allowed us to start new projects and has given us the security of knowing that our current supporters will continue investing in us. ----- ### "Clunky and not up to date" — 2.0/5 > **Andrew** | *18 July 2019* | Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing | Recommendation rating: 1.0/10 > > **Pros**: Good looking Slides once you have found a work around for their clunky software. > > **Cons**: Most of the fuctionality does not work correctly, updating a linked MS Project never worked. Had to upload multiple times to get a good looking reports. Recently stopped working all together and they hammer you with ads. Super annoying\! > > Project slides. ----- ### "Simple and visible" — 5.0/5 > **Borislava** | *16 November 2022* | Pharmaceuticals | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It is a great tool to present the project milestone or multiple projects at a time. Nice interface and easy to use and update This add-on allows me to create an efficient and visible communication about what needs to be done and what has been already accomplished > > **Cons**: Nothing special. I like everything in this add-on > > Great tool\! I love it as it helps me present my projects in a very beautiful way. ----- ### "Valuable time-saving tool" — 5.0/5 > **S** | *14 October 2016* | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: 1. Integrates natively with PowerPoint and makes very nice looking Gantt charts and timelines. 2. I can import existing data from Excel or Microsoft Project and it instantly turns them into nice slides; I can synchronize these slides when my Excel or mpp data changes. 3. The slides it makes are native PowerPoint slides so they are easy to put into presentations, share with clients and managers and easy to edit. They are familiar for everyone else which is good. > > **Cons**: 1. Would really like to see more Project Management types of services, like resource tracking and budgeting. 2. Would like to see an adjacent online service for storing and managing my slides and any templates I build. > > This is a great piece of software that has saved me a boatload of time. I create project slides frequently and have been doing so for the past several years. They are primarily used for recurring reviews with my managers. In each review I needed to update the original slide as dates and progress on my project inevitably change month over month. This process was brittle, fiddly, time consuming and just painful. Office Timeline automatically does this for me which has been a huge time-saver. Since it is a PowerPoint add-in I found it very easy and familiar to create my project slides, but the real value for me is when I need to update or change them. This now happens instantly and my mangers and team seem to love the visuals it creates. With regard to the functionality, although it is a visual tool, I have also found it quite useful in handling smaller projects. I had used MS Project to plan these projects but it is just too complex for small efforts. This tool has worked really well for that because it is simple to use and very easy to share project slides. The MS Excel and .mpp import and synchronization feature are very good and it leaves me wishing the software had actual PM functionality in the tool itself things like some WBS and some resourcing and cost reporting. Overall I have been extremely pleased with it. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/28473/office-timeline?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/28473/office-timeline) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
