IPO Schedule Timeline Created with OnePager Pro

This schedule of a company's timeline for going public was created using OnePager Pro, schedule presentation software from Chronicle Graphics that imports a list of events directly from Microsoft Project. The IPO schedule timeline helps executives and the company's board prioritize resources in a way that expedites the IPO and meets SEC requirements.

Instructions

To build an IPO timeline like the example above, follow these instructions:

  1. Download one set of the sample files above--either for Microsoft Project or for Excel. Each set contains a project plan containing all of the key IPO dates, plus a OnePager template that will help define the layout of the timeline itself. Save both files to your desktop.

  2. Open the Microsoft Project or Excel file.

  3. Once the project plan is open, go to Add-Ins and click the OnePager button.

  4. On the OnePager start screen, click NEW to build a new timeline.

  5. We need to change OnePager's default template to the one downloaded above. To do this, click on Change, and then BROWSE FILES to the OnePager template (*.tat) file. This OnePager template contains all of the data-driven formatting (styles, layout, etc.) that make the timeline look the way that it does.
