Timeline maker FAQS
What are timelines used for?
There are two different ways to use timelines. When managing projects, create a timeline to guide people on your project roadmap, what is planned, and how it will be delivered. If you add a timeline to a presentation, it works as a visual chronological map, showing the order of events and progress.
What does a project timeline look like?
A project timeline shows all the practical details about your project deliverables, such as deadlines, assignees, and action items.
What should a project timeline include?
A project timeline should include dates, deadlines, task description or title, the duration of the task (if needed), assigned person, and dependencies.
What is the best program to create a timeline?
You can use many programs, including Miro’s free built-in online timeline maker. The most important thing is to evaluate whether the software you choose can easily be used with other project management tools or if you can manage your project right where you build your timeline.
