SSI Presentation Professional creates presentations by generating PowerPoint objects (shapes) that can be linked to Microsoft Project schedule items (Summaries, Tasks, and Milestones).  \nThis document will cover features of Presentation Professional, including:  \n• How to create Swimlanes  \n• Using the Waterfall and Gantt display styles  \nSwimlanes  \nWhat are Swimlanes?  \nSwimlanes are special shapes used to distinguish groups of similar activities on a Presentation Pro chart. Observe the following chart:  \nThe Swimlanes in the chart are represented by the large green, blue, and yellow rectangles that surround the activities. These Swimlanes provide clear visual separation for different categories of activities:  \n• The green swimlane encompasses all activities related to Design Milestones, making it easy to identify key design review events.  \n• The blue swimlane contains Test Milestones, grouping all test and verification-related activities together.  \n• The yellow swimlane represents Program Phases, outlining the various stages of system development, from concept development to implementation.  \nBy using Swimlanes, the chart ensures clarity, allowing viewers to quickly associate each activities with a corresponding category.  \nUsing the Swimlane Tools  \nSwimlanes can be created in Presentation Pro by using the Swimlane Tools. To open the Swimlane Tools, click the Add Swimlane button in the SSI Presentation Pro Ribbon.","cbCaid1PvLtk7kUq","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaid1PvLtk7kUq","pdf",1962820,32,"English","# Overview\n# Swim lanes\n## What are Swimlanes?\n## Using the Swimlane Tools\n## Making Swimlanes on the chart\n## Composition of Swimlane Shapes\n## Hands-on Exercise – Creating Swimlanes\n## Nested Swimalnes\n## Hands-on Exercise – Creating Nested Swimlanes\n# Waterfall and Gantt Display Styles\n## Hands-on Exercise – Importing Shapes in a Gantt Style\n## Hands-on Exercise – Changing the Display Style on an Existing Chart","[{\"question\":\"What are swimlanes in SSI Presentation Professional charts?\",\"answer\":\"Swimlanes are special shapes that visually distinguish groups of similar activities.
