Can you make a Gantt chart in Google Slides?

Not natively. Slides has no timeline chart. ChartKit adds a native Gantt with phases, bands and milestones you edit directly on the slide.

How to make a Gantt chart in Google Slides.

A Gantt chart lays a project's phases along a timeline with milestones and dependencies. Google Slides has no Gantt: people fake it with a stack of rectangles or a table that breaks the moment a date shifts.

1
Insert a ChartKit Gantt
Pick Gantt from the chart menu; rows become phases along a week or month axis, with bars, bands and milestones.
2
Edit phases and dates on the slide
Adjust start and length per row, mark milestones and dependencies, apply your palette, all as an editable object in place.
