Office Timeline does what it promises
Office Timeline does what it promises. Generating timelines from excel is super easy and it creates beautiful powerpoint timelines. Some minor improvements can still be made (for example working with multiple swimlanes from excel import) but overall it works very well!

Hello Peter,
Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts with us - it's great to hear that the timeline creation is working well and that the visuals are hitting the mark.
If you have a moment, we'd love to understand more about what you ran into with importing multiple swimlanes using Excel. There might be a specific scenario we
can help troubleshoot. Please feel free to reach out to us at support@officetimeline.com - we'd be happy to take a closer look.
Thanks again for taking the time to share your experience with us- it really helps us improve.

Tool feels 70% developed and the missing 30% is a pain
The tool does well with initial set up but does not handle changes or large projects well. It often randomly seems to adjust spacing that results in having to manually adjust the entire timeline. There is no feature to fit a timeline to a slide so often times the time line is way bigger than the slide and requires manual adjustments. It also does weird things like placing the entire timeline above the slide which requires time consuming manual adjustments again. Finally, I have yet to get the Smartsheet integration to create a slide that fits on a one slide or logically splits over multiple slides. Tool is OK but not awesome. It feels like it’s 70% developed and the missing 30% is a time consuming pain.

Hello Lori,
Thank you so much for sharing your experience — I really appreciate your honesty and the level of detail you've provided.
It's clear that you've spent time working with the tool, and I'm genuinely sorry to hear that some aspects — with larger projects and layout behavior — have felt frustrating. While we're working on improving these areas, one advantage of being a PowerPoint add-in is that you can leverage PowerPoint's full suite of tools alongside ours. For those larger timelines, PowerPoint's Design > Slide Size options let you create custom canvas sizes that work perfectly with our tool - giving you complete control over how your projects are presented.
Feedback like yours is exactly what helps us push things in the right direction. The spacing adjustments you mentioned aren't expected behavior, so if you're open to it, our support team at support@officetimeline.com would love to see a specific example of what you're experiencing. This would help us understand exactly what's happening and work toward a solution.
Thanks again for helping us grow. We're listening, and we're working on it.

Looking forward to hearing from you!

I don't like the alignment of the text…
I don't like the alignment of the text boxes in the timeline tool. It won't let you space them out properly, and continues to put the phases at the bottom of the screen interfering with the spacing on the details coming from the timeline.

Love the idea but problem refreshing MS project schedules
Love the idea, but every time I change my schedule in MS Project and refresh it, it pretty much deletes all the existing tasks and adds all the tasks that were there as new tasks.

Svar från Lucen Software
Hello Mark,
We’re grateful for your feedback — it helps us improve and build a better experience
What you're describing definitely isn't how the refresh data is meant to work. Updating your schedule in MS Project should update the existing tasks, not replace them with duplicates. We’d really like to investigate this further and help get it working as expected.

too restricted
the lite version is too limited with only 2 swimlanes.
Considering the price, we would expect to have more options.
17 maj 2025
Svar från Lucen Software
Hello Olivier,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.
I’m really sorry to hear the Lite edition didn’t meet your expectations — I completely understand how limitations like the swimlane cap can feel frustrating, especially when you're trying to manage more detailed timelines.
Lite was designed as a simpler version of the full experience, offering core functionality for getting started with the tool. When we transitioned from the old Basic plan (which didn’t include swimlanes at all), we made a conscious decision to include them in Lite — even with some limits — so users could still create structured, multi-project timelines without needing to jump straight into a higher plan.
That said, your perspective is absolutely valid, and I appreciate you sharing it. It helps us better understand how the product feels in real-world use, not just on paper. If you’d ever like to explore what options might better support your needs, I’d be more than happy to help.
Best wishes,

Best tool for timeline/project visualisations
This is a great product - and it gets better with every release.
If I need to present any sort of timeline or project/program schedule to a large audience - or just organise my thoughts for internal discussion - this is my 'go to' tool.
It does NOT replace a detailed project schedule - and is not intended to - but gives you the high level plan in a customisable visual format.
The interoperability with Excel/MS Project makes it super easy to use and transfer data.
I can't see myself working without this tool.

No backwards compatibility
No backwards compatibility - users get locked out if someone with newer version opens their timeline. This is a major pain point when there are hundreds of users of different versions and subscription levels. This forces everyone to stay on exact same version and level and it's hard enough to get a software update into corporate system.

Hi Dave,
Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a review. We’re really sorry to hear about the trouble with version compatibility—it’s a valid concern, and we totally understand how frustrating it can be, especially when teams are working across different versions or plans.
We know that in corporate environments, rolling out updates isn't always easy. To help with this, we offer a deployment option that allows your IT team to roll out a consistent build across the organization, helping to avoid version mismatches. We completely understand that getting a software update into a corporate system can be complex, and while this might not be an immediate solution, it can help ensure long-term consistency once in place. Here’s more information if you'd like to share it with your IT team: https://support.officetimeline.com/enterprise-corporate-deployment-how-to-for-it-administrators
Regarding subscription levels, you're absolutely right—plans come with different features, so timelines created with higher-tier plans (like Expert) may not be editable on the lower-tier ones. While this setup reflects the feature differences, we understand how it can create challenges in collaborative scenarios.
We truly appreciate your feedback—it helps us improve and shape the experience for all users. If there’s anything we can do to help smooth things out for your team, please feel free to reach out to feedback@officetimeline.com.

Dear Swissmatt,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We’re genuinely sorry to hear about your frustration and appreciate the opportunity to address your concerns.
We understand how important it is to get a feel for a product before committing. While our trial is not as full featured as our premium plans, it’s designed to provide a clear idea of Office Timeline’s capabilities and how it can support a project's needs. To give peace of mind, we also offer a 30-day refund policy for new purchases, so one can explore the full range of features risk-free and decide if it’s the right fit.
Over the past year, we’ve introduced new features, such as custom themes and templates for report standardization, a flexible timeband for precise timeline adjustments, and deeper integrations with tools like Jira. These enhancements have been implemented based on feedback from customers like you and are designed to save time while delivering professional, polished visuals for projects.
As for pricing, we aim to provide a balance of affordability and quality. For example, the Expert Edition—our most advanced plan—costs about $21 per month or just $5 per week. To put it into perspective, this is roughly the price of a fancy coffee per week, yet it saves a minimum of 3 hours each week by simplifying and automating timeline creation. Many of our customers have found that this time-saving capability more than justifies the investment.
We truly value your input, as it helps us refine our offerings and improve the experience for all users. If you’d like assistance navigating the trial or have additional feedback to share, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us at feedback@officetimeline.com. We’re here to help and would love the opportunity to make things right.
Thank you again for taking time to write. We hope to earn back your trust and demonstrate the value Office Timeline can bring to your projects.

Office Timeline is a great add on but....
Office Timeline is an excellent add on and has saved me time creating timelines as a project manager. I gave it four stars as they haven't stayed up to date with Microsoft fonts. It would be helpful if they included Aptos. For me, this is a company standard font, and having to update all the verbiage deters from the time I save in creating timelines.

A must-have for making your PowerPoint presentations attractive
OfficeTimeline allows you to create very intuitive, very visual timelines. The tool allows great flexibility in creation and editing and integrates perfectly into Microsoft PowerPoint.
Many options allow you to personalize each component (date, milestones, tasks, swimlanes, etc.).
Recently, it has also been possible to manage a critical path or link tasks, which makes the visual even more interesting.
In short, a must-have in your toolbox!
