Free Pitch Deck Design Project Template
A pitch deck design project covers intake, story and content, design build tasks, revision rounds, and the final prep and handover steps.
Share template
A pitch deck has to look like the real thing in the room, not a logo dropped onto a template, and the story and data can’t get bent in the process. The pitch deck design project board keeps the work in one place, so stakeholders see a deck that reads as deliberate, checked, and ready to share.
The columns move from Kickoff and intake through Final prep and handover, with 18 cards that call out what happens at each stage. Teal and muted gold sit under Space Grotesk headings with Roboto body text, so slide titles feel engineered and accountable while the detail stays readable for charts, specs, and review notes.
- Kickoff and intake Starts by collecting source files and access, running the kickoff, and auditing the existing deck and collateral.
- Story and content Maps the slide sequence, tightens copy and data labels, and builds a one-page brand sheet the design work can follow.
- Design and build Defines the visual system and master slides, rebuilds the deck in Google Slides, and designs the key charts and infographics.
- Review and revisions Packages the first review, logs feedback, then tracks revision round 1 and round 2 through finalisation.
- Final prep and handover Checks packaging dieline artwork, preflights and exports a print-ready PDF, exports the final Slides deck, then closes out with the final invoice.
Once the board is in your workspace, you add your own dates and assign whoever’s doing the work to the cards, leaving the columns to show the order the work moves in.
We went from spending hours on every proposal to creating fully customized ones in under 5 minutes. That's not an exaggeration - we timed it.
What is on this board
5 columns carrying 18 cards. Adding it builds the whole thing as a project in your workspace, with every column and card in place.
| Column | What is in it |
|---|---|
Kickoff and intake | Carries the intake tasks that gather source files and access, run the kickoff meeting, and audit the current deck and collateral.
|
Story and content | Carries the cards for slide sequence and story flow, copy and label edits, and a one-page brand sheet that anchors design choices.
|
Design and build | Carries the build work for the visual system, master slides, a rebuilt Google Slides deck, and any key charts or infographics.
|
Review and revisions | Carries the review package task, a feedback log step, and two revision rounds through to final sign-off.
|
Final prep and handover | Carries the preflight and export steps for print-ready PDF and the final Slides handover, plus the closeout and final invoice task.

What happens when you install it
- A project is created with its board, 5 columns and 18 cards already there.
- Nothing carries a due date, because a board holds the order the work runs in rather than a calendar. The dates go on once you know when the job starts.
- Every card opens as a task with its own description, assignee, dates, subtasks and files, and columns are renamed, reordered or deleted like any other.
Who it is for
Presentation designers, brand studios, and print and editorial teams delivering an investor or stakeholder deck that still has to stay true to the story and numbers.
Questions about this project template
Can a pitch deck designer work in my existing Slides or PowerPoint file, or do they rebuild it?
This project flow includes a rebuild step for the deck in Google Slides, alongside the visual system and master slides work. If the starting file matters, the intake and audit cards give you a place to capture what you received and what the rebuild needs to preserve.
What do I need to hand over to start a pitch deck design project?
The kickoff and intake column calls out collecting source files and access, running the kickoff meeting and brief, and auditing the existing deck and collateral. Those cards are where you note what’s missing before story or design work starts.
How many rounds of revisions should a pitch deck design project include?
The review and revisions column includes two revision rounds, ending in finalise. The cards also separate feedback collection and logging from the revision work, so the round boundaries stay clear.
Who handles copy edits in a pitch deck design project?
The story and content column includes editing slide copy and data labels as a named step. If someone else owns the source copy, the cards give you a place to record what gets edited versus what gets approved elsewhere.
What deliverables come at the end of a pitch deck design project?
The final prep and handover column includes exporting a print-ready PDF and exporting the final Google Slides deck and handover package. The same column also includes closing the project and issuing the final invoice.
Does a pitch deck design project include print checks and packaging artwork steps?
The handover column includes a task to check packaging dieline artwork and a separate step to preflight and export a print-ready PDF. Those cards help keep print specs and production checks from getting lost inside slide design feedback.
