How to Create a Timeline Diagram

A Timeline is a chart which displays a project plan schedule in chronological order. A Timeline is used in project management to depict project milestones and visualize project phases and show project progress. The graphic form of a timeline makes it easy to understand critical project milestones, such as the progress of a project schedule. Timelines are particularly useful for project scheduling or project management when accompanied with a Gantt chart. It captures the main of what the project will accomplish and how it will be done. making a project timeline is one of the most important skills a project manager needs have. Making comprehensive, accurate timelines allows you getting every project off in the best way. ConceptDraw DIAGRAM allows you to draw a timeline chart using a special library.

How to Create a Timeline Diagram

The vector stencils library "Timelines and milestones" contains 24 shapes of time scales with start and finish dates, time interval bars with progress indication and brackets, milestone, event and today markers for drawing the timeline diagrams using the ConceptDraw PRO diagramming and vector drawing software.
"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]
