Timeline Diagrams solution extends ConceptDraw DIAGRAM diagramming software with samples, templates and libraries of specially developed smart vector design elements of timeline bars, time intervals, milestones, events, today marker, legend, and many other elements with custom properties, helpful for professional drawing clear and intuitive Timeline Diagrams. Use it to design simple Timeline Diagrams and designate only the main project stages, or highly detailed Timeline Diagrams depicting all project tasks, subtasks, milestones, deadlines, responsible persons and other description information, ideal for applying in presentations, reports, education materials, and other documentation.
Timeline charts presents events and time periods on a chronological scale. They are used in project management to visualize project milestones and upper level phases, and show project progress.
"Time is one of the most critical resources in any project. Good planning spreads the necessary work over a reasonable period of time. This allows everyone to work at a consistent, sustainable pace. Poor planning leaves people stuck and idle, then forces them to scramble to catch up later on. While it does take time to plan ahead, the time ... saved more than make up for it. Good planning is a part of good doing. ...
A Timeline is a clean and concise visual representation of a series of events. It helps you to arrange large chunks of time and see the overall plan easily." [education.rec.ri.cmu.edu/ previews/ nxt_ products/ robotics_ eng_ vol_ 2/ preview/ content/ timeline.pdf]
This timeline template for the ConceptDraw PRO diagramming and vector drawing software is included in the Timeline Diagrams solution from the Management area of ConceptDraw Solution Park.

"A project plan, according to the Project Management Body of Knowledge, is: "...a formal, approved document used to guide both project execution and project control. The primary uses of the project plan are to document planning assumptions and decisions, facilitate communication among stakeholders, and document approved scope, cost, and schedule baselines. A project plan may be summarized or detailed." ...
The objective of a project plan is to define the approach to be used by the Project team to deliver the intended project management scope of the project.
At a minimum, a project plan answers basic questions about the project:
Why? - What is the problem or value proposition addressed by the project? Why is it being sponsored?
What? - What is the work that will be performed on the project? What are the major products/ deliverables?
Who? - Who will be involved and what will be their responsibilities within the project? How will they be organized?
When? - What is the project timeline and when will particularly meaningful points, referred to as milestones, be complete?" [Project plan. Wikipedia]
The timeline diagram example "New business project plan" was created using the ConceptDraw PRO diagramming and vector drawing software extended with the Timeline Diagrams solution from the Management area of ConceptDraw Solution Park.

"A timeline is a way of displaying a list of events in chronological order, sometimes described as a project artifact. It is typically a graphic design showing a long bar labelled with dates alongside itself and (usually) events labelled on points where they would have happened. ...
Another type of timeline is used for project management. In these cases, timelines are used to help team members to know what milestones need to be achieved and under what time schedule. For example, in the case of establishing a project timeline in the implementation phase of the life cycle of a computer system." [Timeline. Wikipedia]
