Example 1: Timeline Diagram — Project Schedule

This diagram was created in ConceptDraw DIAGRAM using the combination of libraries from the Timeline Diagrams Solution. An experienced user spent 10 minutes creating this sample.

The project schedule is one of the main definitions in a project planning and project management. It is a useful tool for representation, monitoring, communication and reporting about the project progress. The project schedule visually depicts all work connected with a project's execution on time, indicates the main project stages that need to be done with obligatory indication the start and end dates, milestones in a chronological sequence, activities, deliverables, and resources that must to be utilized to deliver all works on a project. At the real projects, the project schedule informs all team members about the overall project status and is available for updating by each team member to reflect always the actual information. This sample diagram shows the project schedule, with its checkpoints and milestones, on the timeline. The period of project execution includes the months from two years, the use of two colors allowed to divide the periods corresponding to different years.

Example 2: Timeline Diagram — Business Project Plan

This diagram was created in ConceptDraw DIAGRAM using the combination of libraries from the Timeline Diagrams Solution. An experienced user spent 10 minutes creating this sample.

A business plan is a fundamental document of any project, it allows to structure all information about the life cycle of a business, to define the main idea of a business project and ways of its implementation, the time limits, necessary investments, expected profits, possible losses and indexes of profitability. This information can be displayed in a short summarized or in detailed view. Timeline diagram is a very useful project management tool to show the project phases and to track the progress. This Timeline diagram example depicts the business plan for a project of semi-annual duration, which contains four phases following precisely each after another. The end date of each phase is marked with a milestone, besides you can notice one additional milestone during the fourth phase. The accurate layout of phases on a diagram is the result of automatic placement in accordance with the dates specified for these objects in right side panel "Custom Properties".

Example 3: Timeline Diagram — Request for Proposal Plan

This diagram was created in ConceptDraw DIAGRAM using the combination of libraries from the Timeline Diagrams Solution. An experienced user spent 10 minutes creating this sample.

Request for Proposal (RFP) is a documented request of an organization or company that is interested in buying some goods, products or services. It contains the stated objectives and requirements for a product or service, quality criteria and criteria of suppliers’ selection. RFP helps to receive a wide range of solutions and to make the correct decision. Thus, the Request for Proposal informs the suppliers about the organization’s intentions and needs, about the extended requirements, and encourages them to make their suggestions. This sample diagram shows the stages of Request for Proposal plan on a timeline. If the timeline bar shows only the project start and end dates, the top element on this diagram lets to detail the information according to the months and weeks. The application of distinctive colors, such as for Project Start and Final Reports milestones, is an intuitive way to highlight the most important points on the diagram.

Example 4: Business Startup Timeline

This diagram was created in ConceptDraw DIAGRAM using the combination of libraries from the Timeline Diagrams Solution. An experienced user spent 10 minutes creating this sample.

A startup is a new business project created with a goal of profit from this project after its development. It can be created in any area of business, at this it is important to remember that its distinctive feature is a unique and original idea on the creation an innovative product, process or service. This Timeline diagram sample illustrates the sequence of processes in a business startup planning, on a chronological scale with depiction the milestones in time. The smart objects offered by the libraries of Timeline Diagrams solution possess the custom properties, the values of which you can change at any moment according to your project's data. Thus, for a given project timeline object can be set the Start date, Finish date, Interval number and Guide line number, for milestones and task objects these are only their dates. The use of a legend helps to indicate the colors used on a given diagram.

Example 5: Timeline Diagram

This diagram was created in ConceptDraw DIAGRAM using the combination of libraries from the Timeline Diagrams Solution. An experienced user spent 10 minutes creating this sample.

Timeline diagram is a good way to visualize events chronologically. A milestone is a critical point, important decision or event that receives a special attention, often it is used at the end of a completed work package or a phase. You can use different milestone symbols to divide events into the logical groups. This Timeline chart sample presents the project milestones and events on a chronological scale. The use of predesigned vector objects from the ConceptDraw's Project Timeline and Timeline Diagram libraries makes your timeline diagramming quick and easy: simply drag the needed objects from the libraries and set their custom properties. The milestone object need to be connected to the timeline bar and will be automatically placed according to its date. The labels of timeline dates are reflected automatically on a diagram from the custom properties and cannot be edited manually, the names of milestones and events are typed from the keyboard.

Example 6: Project Timeline

This diagram was created in ConceptDraw DIAGRAM using the combination of libraries from the Timeline Diagrams Solution. An experienced user spent 10 minutes creating this sample.

This timeline sample visualizes the project timeline with indication all project tasks and milestones in a chronological order. You can change the dates and other project data for selected timeline element in right side panel "Custom Properties". You can also drag the task interval vertically above or below, parallel to the timeline bar, while the horizontal position of the attached task is determined proceeding from the established dates in custom properties. It is desirable to place the tasks with equal time limits on the distance from each other, without overlapping the intervals. After changing the dates or other data for the selected element, the object position on the diagram will be automatically renovated. For the ConceptDraw's task objects is provided the possibility to show / hide the complete degree in percents and the critical path using the commands from the object’s Action menu. The use of colors lets to make semantic accents on your Timeline diagram.

Template 1: Project Timeline

This template was created in ConceptDraw DIAGRAM using the combination of libraries from the Timeline Diagrams Solution. An experienced user spent 10 minutes creating this sample.

Timeline diagram is the best broad overview of a sequence of project events and steps in time. This template is a perfect base for designing the Project Timeline Diagram with ConceptDraw DIAGRAM software. This project template depicts two phases with tasks, milestones and events. The phases are colored differently on the diagram, the correspondence of colors is represented at the legend, so you can identify at-a-glance the affiliation of task to one or another phase. Remove some tasks according to your project or vice versa add tasks using the objects from the Timeline Diagram solution libraries. Change the project title and type the names for tasks, milestones and events, enter the dates for each of them and identify the project limits in right side panel "Custom Properties". The timeline object contains a little more custom properties to be set, apart from project dates you can set the quantity of interval on the timeline bar and quantity of lines under timeline for placement the tasks intervals.
