Making a summary timeline project plan

Hi Ann

You should be able to create this in PowerPoint using a table:
Insert Ribbon>Table.

I would recommend adding as much detail as possible to your plan in the table first, then at the very end adding the arrows (as these are the fiddliest bits, and it's not possible to group the arrows with the table to make it easier).

In fact, using shading in cells on the table to indicate time frames is probably an easier way to note the time periods for each activity, rather than arrows (then it would look more like a traditional Gantt chart).

Alternatively, you could create something similar in Excel then copy and paste it across to PowerPoint as needed.

Hope this answers your question, let us know if you need any further help.

Kind Regards,
