How to use a Gantt chart template
- Download a template and open it in PowerPoint (or Keynote, Google Slides).
- Click any label to change its text, including the dates. Drag or stretch a bar to match your schedule.
- Copy a bar with its labels to add a task, and delete the rows you don't need.
- Faster with real dates: put your tasks into the Gantt chart maker and the bars are placed for you.
Questions
Are these Gantt chart templates free?
Yes. Every template downloads as a .pptx file with no sign-up. Each slide has one small “Made with PMO Pilot” text box in the corner that you can delete.
Are the templates editable?
Yes. Every bar, milestone, label and line is a native PowerPoint shape, not a picture, so you can change text, colors, fonts and positions like anything else on a slide.
How do I put my own dates in?
Either edit the slide by hand, or use the free Gantt chart maker on this site: type or paste your tasks, pick the same look and download a slide drawn from your dates.
Can a Gantt chart update itself when dates change?
Not a downloaded template. The PMO Pilot add-in for PowerPoint can: change a date and it redraws the chart on the slide, keeping the edits you made by hand.
Want this from messy notes, with updates that keep your edits?
PMO Pilot works inside PowerPoint: paste status notes, an email or an Excel plan, and when dates change it updates the slide without undoing your tweaks. 80 looks and 53 program diagrams.
