Timeline Template for PowerPoint Dark


Description
Map your project or strategic plan across five key milestones with this vibrant five-year timeline layout slide. A clean white canvas anchors a horizontal path punctuated by five distinct circular nodes—2015 in lime green, 2017 in cyan, 2019 in purple, 2021 in coral red, and 2023 in hot pink—each raised with subtle drop shadows for depth. Thin light-gray connector lines link each node to paired text callouts positioned alternately above and below the timeline, providing clear headline and description placeholders for every year.
Built on fully editable master slides in both PowerPoint and Google Slides, you can customize every element in seconds: swap node colors to match your brand palette, adjust connector angles, edit year labels and callout text, or embed icons to reinforce your narrative. Lockable layers and built-in alignment guides preserve perfect spacing during collaborative editing, preventing misalignment when multiple contributors update content. Apply optional sequential animations to reveal each milestone in order, guiding viewers through your story with visual emphasis and narrative flow.
Optimized for high-resolution displays and virtual presentations, this timeline slide maintains pixel-perfect clarity across devices and eliminates version-control headaches. Its modern sans-serif typography—bold charcoal headings paired with medium-gray body text—ensures readability in conference rooms and online meetings alike. Whether you’re outlining product roadmaps, annual reviews, implementation schedules, or historical overviews, this five-year timeline layout delivers structure, professional polish, and accelerated slide preparation.
Who is it for
