Real teams, real results

Lucen Timeline makes it possible to create timelines and Gantt charts very fast, easy, and overseeable. Even complex multilayered swimlanes are handled with ease. I started to use it in the company, and meanwhile, many who are also in need to create charts have started to use it as well. Very recommendable.

Lucen Timeline is simple to use, gives you lots of flexibility, and looks great. Not all my customers can understand complex Gantt charts, but they all love simple-to-read timelines. The swimlanes allow you to add more information while keeping it easy to understand.
Damian Cast
I love this tool! Thank you! I tried others, and this tool is so intuitive and efficient for maintaining many projects and the interdependencies between multiple projects. The swimlanes were a hit during presentations, and now others want this. It makes the user look good in addition to the ease of use.

Lucen Timeline [formerly Office Timeline] is one of the best office plug-ins I've ever used, if not the best one. It saves me so much time creating great looking roadmaps and Gantt charts for PowerPoint. I really appreciate how easy it is to update the data and make changes to formatting, while having the ability to save changes to the data in Excel or Smartsheet for further use. This was well worth the cost of the paid version for me!
Judy Lai-Norling
Excellent product. It saved me days in creating, maintaining, and changing POAP/timelines at work. Effortless import from MS Project, Excel, or Google with an easy-to-navigate menu and options. Even when the file is renamed, you just select a new name, and it will update the previously created timeline. Annoyed I didn’t get this sooner.
