Software delivery and coordination
Stay on top of delivery across teams and releases
Start faster with software-ready templates
Building timelines from scratch is a time sink. Use structured templates for sprint plans, releases, and infrastructure work.
See ownership and progress across teams
Work is spread across tools and teams. See who owns what, what’s moving, and where work is slowing down.
Catch delays before they impact releases
Delays may surface too late and impact releases. See where dependencies could break and what’s at risk.
Compare planned vs. actual progress in one view
When plans change, tracking falls out of sync. Compare delivery to plan in one view - no rebuilding reports.
What our customers say
Simple visuals for complex projects Lucen Timeline [formerly Office Timeline] was one of the best finds in my career. As a program manager interacting with senior leaders, I found it challenging to provide simple PowerPoint visuals of complicated projects. Lucen Timeline does exactly that. It is easy to use, saves me time and produces professional looking timelines. I would recommend this to any program or project manager who leads a large project with multiple dependencies.

Finally, a better way to build timelines Do you live in PowerPoint? I frequently have sales decks, pitch decks, project summaries, and dozens of other materials which require timelines. I've done them in Excel, MS Project, Word, and the hard way, using drawings in PowerPoint, but by far the best tool I have used to create quick, easy, professional looking timelines is Timeline. It will make your presentations pop.
