Project timeline

Types of timeline

When to use a project timeline

• New project

  Lay the phases along the line, like design and build, and hang the big moments above them.

• With a team

  Share it so everyone can see when their part starts and what comes straight after it.

• A deadline

  Put the launch date on first, then work back to see when each phase has to finish.
