Stop building board decks by hand
Every quarter, someone spends a day pulling numbers from tickets, writing milestone summaries from memory, and dragging boxes around in PowerPoint. By the time the deck is done, half the data is already stale.
GoalPath builds the entire presentation from your live project data. One click, and you have a polished .pptx ready to present: milestones, Gantt timelines, dependency diagrams, forecasts, and narratives written in the language your board expects.
How it works
- Open the Planning page
- Click Export in the toolbar
- Pick your theme, timeframe, and whether to include narratives
- Click Export and the
.pptxdownloads to your computer
The export runs entirely in your browser. No data leaves your machine except the API calls that already power the app.
What's in the deck
Title slide
Opens with your project name, a summary of active milestones, and today's date. Sets the stage without any setup work.
Roadmap overview: Now / Next / Later
Milestones laid out in three columns so anyone can see what's happening, what's coming, and what's further out. Each card shows the name, status, and forecast date.
If your project uses the Teams add-on, milestones are grouped into swimlanes by team, so your board sees who owns what.
Gantt timeline
A horizontal timeline showing milestones as colored bars across months. Each bar spans from start date to forecast completion, color-coded by status.
For projects with more than 12 milestones, the Gantt automatically splits across multiple slides so nothing gets compressed into unreadable slivers.
One slide per milestone
Each milestone gets its own detail slide with:
- A narrative explaining what was accomplished, what's ahead, and what risks exist, written in board-friendly language
- A progress bar showing completion percentage
- Forecast dates: best case, expected, and risk-adjusted
- The top items so stakeholders can see what's actually in flight
Milestones are ordered by status: in progress first, then planned, then concepts.
Dependency diagrams
Two views of how your milestones connect:
- Shape-based diagram: a structured graph showing prerequisite and enables relationships, with the critical path highlighted
- Mermaid flowchart: a rendered diagram with status-colored nodes and directional edges, generated from your dependency data
Both render automatically when your project has dependencies defined.
Team overview
When the Teams add-on is active, a dedicated slide shows each team with their member count and active milestones. Useful when your board wants to understand team structure at a glance.
Closing slide
A clean wrap-up with your project name and contact prompt.
Narratives that speak your board's language
This is where the export saves the most time.
Instead of copying ticket titles into a slide and hoping stakeholders can decode them, GoalPath translates your execution data into concise, outcome-focused language. It draws from your weekly progress reports, milestone summaries, and delivery health metrics.
What your team sees: "Item velocity trending up, 3 blockers resolved, cycle time down 15%."
What your board sees: "The team is shipping faster than last quarter. Three issues that were slowing delivery have been resolved."
If you've configured your project's language to Swedish, German, French, or any of the supported languages, the narratives and all slide labels follow suit.
Make it yours
| Option | Default | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Theme | Light | Light for printed decks. Dark for screen presentations. |
| Timeframe | 12 months | Only includes milestones with activity or forecasts within this window. |
Who can export
Anyone with Owner, Project Leader, or Collaborator access. Stakeholders and Viewers don't see the button.
Tips from teams using this
- Keep it under 15 milestones. That gives you a focused deck that holds attention. Use the timeframe filter to narrow the scope.
- Use Dark theme when presenting on screen. It reads better on projectors and in video calls.
- Review the narratives before you present. They're a strong first draft, not a final script. Open the file in PowerPoint and adjust the tone to match your voice.
- Export right before the meeting. The deck pulls from live data, so a fresh export is always up to date.
