FAQs

How do I make a project timeline?

No matter what software you’re working with, you can create a timeline with these easy steps:

  • Identify the project’s start and end date

  • Identify every task needed to reach this deadline, and their completion dates

  • Note any dependent tasks (when one task must be finished before another can begin)

  • Designate the team members responsible for each item

  • Track progress on each task as the project develops

Is a Gantt chart a project timeline?

Yes, a Gantt chart is a visual representation of task duration, from start to end date.

Is a project plan the same as a timeline?

Not quite. A project plan outlines the goals, tasks, and resources needed to complete a project. A timeline visualizes the order of events and progress over time.
