Finding PMO Pilot useful? Here's how to rate it on Microsoft Marketplace — it helps other project managers find it.
Getting started
- Add PMO Pilot: in PowerPoint select Home → Add-ins (older versions: Insert → Get Add-ins), search for PMO Pilot and select Add. Or open PMO Pilot on Microsoft Marketplace and select Get it now. Microsoft 365 admins can deploy it to everyone from the admin center under Settings → Integrated apps.
- In PowerPoint, open the Home tab and select PMO Pilot.
- Paste status notes, an email or a table — or upload an Excel/CSV file — and select Generate with AI (or Build timeline from table for a spreadsheet).
- Check the items and any dates marked for review, then select Insert on slide.
Activate your license
After you buy PMO Pilot Pro, your license key is shown on the confirmation screen and emailed with your receipt.
- In PowerPoint, open PMO Pilot and select the Account tab.
- Paste the key into License key and select Activate. Pro switches on right away.
- To move the license to another computer, select Remove from this install first. Monthly, annual and lifetime keys work on up to 5 installs; the 7-day pass on 2.
Renewals and cancelling
Monthly and annual plans renew automatically, and PMO Pilot shows the next renewal date under Account. To cancel, resume or update your card, open My Orders (sign in with the email you bought with). If you cancel, Pro keeps working until the end of the period you paid for, and PMO Pilot reminds you 7 days before it ends. The 7-day pass and lifetime licenses never renew.
Lost your key?
Find it in your receipt email or in My Orders, or email us.
Common questions
Which versions of PowerPoint are supported?
PowerPoint for Microsoft 365 on Windows and Mac, and PowerPoint for the web. Some features need a recent version: deck theme colors need Windows Version 2601+ / Mac 16.105+, and updating grouped timeline shapes needs Windows 2504+ / Mac 16.96+. PowerPoint on iPad isn't supported.
I moved or recolored a bar and PMO Pilot kept my change. Why?
That's on purpose: manual position, size and color changes are kept when dates update. To undo them, use Style → Reset manual tweaks.
I dragged a bar. How do I update its dates?
Select Edit → Sync from slide, or turn on Automatically next to it. Dates snap to whole days.
"Some timeline shapes are grouped" — what should I do?
Older PowerPoint versions can't update shapes inside a group. Select the group, choose Ungroup, then try again.
Some items didn't fit on the slide.
Very dense timelines are shown partially rather than overlapping. Try Style → What's on the slide → Summary (or hide items there), or split the timeline across slides.
Where is my data stored?
