The deck is due, the room’s unforgiving, and the last thing anybody wants is a pitch that looks fine on one screen and messy on another. A projector can flatten contrast, fonts can shift, and a few crooked charts can make the whole thing feel careless, so the work needs a checklist that holds up under pressure. This pitch deck design project keeps the work moving in a clear order, with Space Grotesk headings and Inter body text over saturated blue and a sharp red accent for quick scan-and-act moments.
The board starts with Brief and files, which pins down the presentation goal, gathers source files, and keeps version control from getting sloppy. A Visual pass follows to normalise styles, then Template and Slide Master builds the slide system so layouts stay consistent when the deck travels. Key slides redesign handles the narrative slides and overall structure, Charts and tables redraws data for legibility on screen, and Finalise and handover packages the PowerPoint, PDFs, and notes so the next presenter isn’t guessing.
- Brief and files Confirms the brief and presentation goals, collects source files and brand assets, and sets version control and filenames before design work starts.
- Visual pass Runs a consistency sweep across the deck so paragraph, shape, and spacing styles follow one system.
- Template and Slide Master Builds the Slide Master and template so brand-aligned layouts stay stable as slides get added and edited.
- Charts and tables Redraws charts from Excel and formats tables so numbers and labels stay readable on screen and in PDF.
- Finalise and handover Prepares the final PowerPoint, exports PDFs, and packages deliverables with presenter notes and a version readme.
Once the template is in Plutio, you run the work as a board, assign the tasks to whoever’s building the deck, and add your own dates since the columns track sequence rather than a calendar.
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 happens when you install it
- A project is created with its board, 6 columns and 15 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 and pitch deck specialists who need a repeatable board for Slide Master builds, slide redesign, and chart cleanup before a live meeting.
Questions about this project template
What should a pitch deck design workflow include?
A pitch deck design workflow usually covers intake of the brief and brand files, a consistency pass, Slide Master and template setup, key slide redesign, chart and table formatting, and a final handover package. This board follows that sequence so the work doesn’t jump around under deadline pressure.
How do you make sure a pitch deck stays consistent across slides?
Consistency comes from normalised paragraph and shape styles plus a Slide Master that defines layouts and recurring elements. This template separates the visual consistency pass from the Slide Master build, so both steps get done before heavy redesign work.
What’s included in a pitch deck handover?
A handover usually includes the final editable PowerPoint file, exported PDF versions, and any notes the next presenter needs. This board also includes a version readme step so the handoff explains what changed and which file is current.
How do you handle charts and tables in a pitch deck redesign?
Charts often need a redraw from the original data source and then formatting for screen legibility, not just a quick restyle. This board includes a dedicated column for redrawing charts from Excel and formatting tables and data.
Do I need to set dates on a pitch deck design project board?
A project board can carry the order of work without implying a schedule. This template expects you to add your own dates, since the columns show sequence rather than a calendar.
Who should be assigned to tasks in a pitch deck redesign?
Tasks should go to whoever is responsible for each stage, like asset intake, Slide Master setup, redesign, and chart redraws. This template expects you to add the people doing the work to the project and assign them to the cards.
