How it works

From data to a finished slide in three steps

Import or paste your data

Pull straight from Excel, Microsoft Project, Jira, or Smartsheet, or paste it in.

Choose a Gantt template and style

Start from a proven layout and match it to your brand in a click.

Drop it on your slide

Drop the Gantt on your slide. Task bars, dependencies and milestones update as the plan changes.

The clarity gap

Your plan is a task list. Your stakeholders need a Gantt.

Project files and spreadsheets hold the schedule. Leadership needs one clear view of what happens when. Lucen turns the first into the second in minutes.
