Milestones Professional

Standalone Gantt and timeline software with direct embedding into PowerPoint and Word.

Timeline & Gantt Paid

Milestones Professional is a dedicated timeline and Gantt chart application built around getting a schedule into a document or slide, not managing day-to-day project execution. Charts embed directly into PowerPoint and Word, and update in place if the underlying schedule changes, which suits teams that produce recurring status decks and reports.

It's been used for decades in government, defense, and engineering programs that need detailed, presentation-ready schedules without adopting a full project-tracking platform. It works as a standalone charting tool rather than a place to assign tasks or track actual progress.
