Layout Pattern

Gantt / Project Plan

Horizontal bar chart of tasks across a timeline. The canonical project-status slide.

How to Use It

Gantt slides summarize schedule at a glance. Rows are work streams or tasks, columns are time periods. Draw each task as a horizontal bar spanning its duration. Use color for status (on-track, at-risk, blocked). Mark today's date with a vertical line - it is the most important element on the slide. Keep it to 10-15 rows; detailed Gantts belong in a tool, not a slide. Add milestones as diamond markers between tasks.
