Roll Out Plan template for PowerPoint & Google Slides

A 12-slide pack built around one question: how long is your rollout? Pick the version that matches your timeline and you’re done.

Four Timeline Options

Three-month rollout. Three columns with month labels (May, June, July), each holding a stage title (Management Commitment, Planning, Rollout Plan), a bullet list for tasks, and an icon badge at the bottom.

Four-month rollout. Four columns across March through June. Stages default to Management Commitment, Vision and Mission, Planning, and Initiative Plan.

Five-month rollout. Same structure extended. March through July. Adds Roll Out Plan as the fifth stage.

Six-month rollout. March through August. Adds Sustaining Continuous Improvement as the final stage for post-launch monitoring.

All four versions use the same color-coded arrow chevrons flowing left to right (green, yellow, red, blue, orange, brown) so the visual language stays consistent whether you’re showing three phases or six. Each version also comes in a dark background variant. That’s 8 of the 12 slides.

Two Extra Layouts

Project rollout Gantt chart. Eight tasks listed down the left side, three months across the top broken into weekly columns (Week 01 through Week 04). Colored horizontal bars show when each task runs and for how long. A legend at the bottom maps colors to workstreams. This is the slide you’d use when stakeholders want the detailed schedule, not just the high-level phases.

Product launch step flow. Four numbered steps (Develop Plan, Review and Agree, Drive Internal Awareness, Generate Partner Awareness) with time estimates under each one (1-2 months, 2-6 months). A launch date calendar icon on the right shows the target go-live date. Two illustrated business characters flank a description paragraph at the bottom. Good for product launch announcement decks where you need to show both the steps and the launch date on one slide.

12 slides total. 16:9. PowerPoint and Google Slides.

Which Slide to Use When

Pick the phase chevron slide that matches your actual rollout duration. Don’t use the six-month version for a three-month rollout just because it has more boxes. The month labels make the timeline claim explicit, which keeps leadership from assuming you have more runway than you do.

Use the Gantt slide when the audience is PMO or engineering and they need to see resource overlap and task dependencies. Use the product launch step flow when the audience is marketing or executive leadership and they want the “when does it ship” answer in ten seconds.

Replace the stage titles with your actual phases. Common alternatives to the defaults: Discovery, Design, Build, Test, Launch, Iterate. Or Assessment, Planning, Pilot, Scale, Monitor. Update the months to match your real timeline.
