What is a Project Timeline and why get this Template?
If you manage projects it’s important to show how many tasks there are and when they’re due to happen. This helps to explain key events in your project’s life to team members and other stakeholders.
In my experience I’ve seen project managers show project tasks using Gantt charts, but here I offer a compelling alternative – the simple project timeline tool – which you can create in Excel.
A project timeline shows how events relate to each other in time. Although timelines don’t look as sophisticated as Gantt charts, they do a really good job at communicating the big picture. A well crafted project timeline can convey useful information relating to task progress and overall project progress.
What you get in this download package
There are two videos and one timeline template spreadsheet included in our affordable Timeline download package.
Both the videos and timeline template work together, so you can watch the videos that show how to create the timeline chart in Excel, and follow along in Excel with the spreadsheet.
The Excel Timeline Template Spreadsheet
The spreadsheet contains a working Timeline Template that you can use immediately to create your own project timelines. It also has step-by-step instructions for creating the timeline from scratch.
A lot of care and attention has been put into making the Timeline Template a really good choice for showing how project tasks relate to each over the planned life of the project.
