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's PowerPoint Roadmap Export builds the entire presentation from your live project data. One click, and you have a polished .pptx ready to present — milestones, forecasts, progress, team structure, and narratives written in the language your board expects.

**From a day of work to under a minute.** The deck is always current because it pulls from live data — not from what someone remembered to type.

How it works

  1. Open the Planning page
  2. Click Export in the toolbar
  3. Pick your theme, milestone limit, and whether to include dependencies
  4. Click Export — the .pptx downloads to your computer

What your board sees

A roadmap they can follow

The deck opens with a Now / Next / Later overview — 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 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.

One slide per milestone

Each milestone gets its own slide with:

  • A narrative explaining what was accomplished, what's ahead, and what risks exist — written in investor-friendly language, not ticket jargon
  • A progress bar showing how much is done
  • 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.

Dependencies at a glance

Optionally, a flow diagram shows how milestones depend on each other — with the critical path highlighted. Useful when your board wants to understand sequencing.

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 bullets. It draws from your weekly progress reports, milestone summaries, and delivery health metrics to write the kind of language boards expect.

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 8 supported languages, the narratives follow suit.

**Always works.** If the narrative service is temporarily unavailable, slides fall back to a progress summary with item counts — the export never fails.

Tips from teams using this

  • 10 milestones hits the sweet spot. That's about 15 slides — enough to be thorough, short enough that nobody zones out.
  • 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.
