PMO Pilot

Paste your status notes. Get a presentation-ready timeline.

PMO Pilot reads messy project updates (status notes, emails, meeting transcripts, or an Excel/CSV export) and builds a timeline from native, fully editable PowerPoint shapes.

• No column mapping. AI finds tasks, milestones, owners, dependencies and dates, including phrases like "mid-Q4" or "two weeks after beta", and shows every date it inferred so you can check it first.
• No overlapping labels. Items are packed into lanes so text never collides.
• Your tweaks survive updates. Move a label or recolor a bar and PMO Pilot keeps it when dates change.
• Track slippage. Save a baseline and see planned-vs-actual as ghosted bars and "+14d" labels.
• One click to exec view. Collapse detailed plans into phase-level roadmaps with larger type.
• Critical path. One switch outlines the chain that drives the finish date; late links are flagged.
• 80 designer looks in 14 categories. Board one-pagers, Gantt, quarterly, product, technology and IT roadmaps, ERP rollouts, phase gates, sprints, regulatory submissions and more, previewed on your own data, with suggestions that fit your plan.
• 22 timeline and roadmap starters. Milestone timeline, release plan, cutover plan, 30-60-90 and 100-day plans and more, each with a sample you replace with your own items.
• Format everything. Shapes, sizes, label positions, date formats, fiscal-year timescales, swimlanes, spacing and fonts. Apply a change to one item, a selection, or everything.
• Risk tables and monthly reviews. Add a risks and assumptions table as a real PowerPoint table, or generate a monthly program review slide from your plan.
• Scenarios. Compare "best case" and "delayed launch" versions of your plan and switch between them live.
• 53 program diagrams. IPS board, critical-path network, RACI, fishbone, risk heat map, decision matrix, phase gates, change readiness, business case and more: native shapes and tables that recalculate totals and scores.
• Update from Excel. Re-import a changed spreadsheet and your formatting stays. Download CSV at any time; nothing is locked in.
• On brand. Use your deck's theme colors and fonts, or pull colors from your company website.

Your timeline data is stored in your presentation, not on our servers.
