Smartsheet and Office Timeline team up to improve project reporting visuals

January 20, 2015 - Office Timeline, the maker of award-winning project visualization and Gantt chart software, announced today's release of its integration with Smartsheet, the spreadsheet-inspired collaborative work management tool. The two companies have joined forces to simplify project communication in the enterprise through rich, easy-to-understand project visuals.

With the new integration between the two tools, users have an easy way to turn their Smartsheet project schedules into elegant PowerPoint slides for important client communication and executive presentations.

"Knowledge workers across the enterprise need a simple, graphical way to present their projects to clients and managers," said Mike Andrews, Vice President of Enterprise Sales at Smartsheet. "Office Timeline significantly enhances our users' ability to transform their project schedules into compelling graphics."

With Office Timeline Plus Edition, Smartsheet users can browse their project sheets directly from within PowerPoint. Using an intuitive wizard, they select which items from Smartsheet will be displayed on a timeline and then Office Timeline automatically converts the data into an impressive PowerPoint slide. From there, project teams can leverage Office Timeline's intuitive interface and powerful styling engine to further customize the design of their Smartsheet visual, all from inside PowerPoint.

"Customers and executives expect already over-worked project teams to produce professional communications that are graphical and easy to understand," said Tim Stumbles, co-founder of Office Timeline. "Now, teams have the ability to quickly generate really beautiful Smartsheet visuals that become the centerpiece of the reporting process - and audiences love them."
