Download PowerPoint Gantt Chart Templates

Gantt charts help you break down your project into manageable tasks, schedule them on a calendar view, and track progress. This is beneficial for anyone planning and managing projects, from construction or marketing campaigns to personal event organization. By using a template, you save time creating the chart structure and focus on filling it with your specific project details.

The best way for presenting Gantt Chart depends on your comfort level and project complexity. For a simple chart, you can use the built-in Gantt chart, which is a quick win. Using a high-quality template offers a visual starting point that you can customize to your needs.

For more complex projects, or if you need frequent updates, consider creating your Gantt chart in Excel or Sheets and linking it to PowerPoint or Google Slides. This lets you manage data in a spreadsheet while keeping your presentation visuals dynamic.

You can find a Gantt chart template in PowerPoint by going to File > New > Office and searching “Gantt chart” in the search bar. You’ll find a few options to pick from. However, if you wish to create presentations that stand out from the ordinary, you can simply use one of SlideUpLift’s PowerPoint templates. 

There are two ways to add an Excel Gantt Chart in PPT. These are:

1. Simply copy and paste the chart from your Excel sheet to your PowerPoint presentation. In this case, the data will need to be manually updated in case of changes.

2. The alternative is linking data. To do this, insert a bar chart in your PPT presentation. Then, right-click the chart and select Change Data Source. Open your Excel sheet that contains the Gantt chart data. Now, any changes to the Excel data will be reflected in PowerPoint.
