The project Gantt chart on a PowerPoint slide

An add-in draws the Gantt chart on a slide with native, editable shapes and refreshes it in one click. Coming soon.

  • Free, included in every account

Coming soon: this page describes how the integration will work. Today you can achieve the same result with the REST API and webhooks.

What it does

The project Gantt chart on a PowerPoint slide

A PowerPoint add-in draws the project’s Gantt chart on a slide with native shapes, which stay editable, and refreshes it from Planitude data without touching the rest of the slide.

Where it helps

  • Present the project status to the steering committee.
  • Update the monthly progress slide without redrawing it.
  • Place the Gantt chart in client documents, in the style of the presentation.

Guides and documentation

Frequently asked questions about Microsoft PowerPoint

Can the shapes be edited?

Yes. They are PowerPoint rectangles, diamonds, lines and text boxes: you can change their colors and text like any other shape.

Does refreshing erase my changes to the slide?

Refreshing only redraws the Gantt chart inserted by the add-in: titles, notes and the other elements on the slide stay as they are.

Do the integrations cost anything?

No. Every integration is included in Planitude, which is free. You only need your own access to the other tool (for example a Jira, Slack or Microsoft 365 account) under its own terms.

How do I disconnect an integration?

From the app's page in the project, with Disconnect, at any time. Nothing is deleted: tasks stay in Planitude, issues and messages stay in the other tool. Connected AI apps are revoked from Profile → API keys.

Microsoft PowerPoint is coming soon

In the meantime, you can connect Planitude to any tool with the REST API and signed webhooks.
