What is a project schedule?
A project schedule fixes the order and the duration of the work: what must finish before the next thing starts, how long each activity runs, and which dates are commitments rather than estimates. Where a plan communicates intent, a schedule commits to dates, which is why milestones matter more than task detail.

Open this template →Why export to PowerPoint matters
Most free chart tools give you a flat PNG, or lock PowerPoint export behind a paywall. This template exports real, editable PowerPoint shapes and text — so you can drop the chart straight into your deck and restyle it in PowerPoint, Google Slides or Keynote. That is the difference between a picture and a slide.
