What is Timelining all about?
This activity will help to build personal connections with your team, as they plot the most-important moments in their lives on the timeline. Starting at the birth of the oldest team member and ending with 'today', it's a great way to foster team connection.
Instructions
The activity involves four steps.
Step 1
Work out who is the oldest in your group, and draw a mark on the left edge of the blue line (at "Go") to represent their year of birth.
Step 2
From this date, mark off the decades to today adding the small vertical lines and spacing them out for each decade. Then add the starting year of the decade in the text box.
Step 3
Next, get everyone to write down on the line the moments in their lives that are/were really important. Some examples may be:
When and where you were born
Where did you live when you were children
Which schools you went to
Significant moments in your childhood
First kiss
First partner
Which university you went to
Death of grandparents
What was your first job
Where were you living
Why did you leave
When did you meet your partner
When did your children get born
Step 4
What are the highlights? Are there any patterns? What might this mean for the future?

The product positioning template guides you to consider key topics such as defining your product and market category, identifying your target segment and competitors, and understanding your key benefits and differentiation.
