What is a Timeline?
How Can Teams Collaboratively Create a Timeline for a Project/Event Using Creately?
-
Timelines are useful in planning and managing projects, tracking progress and identifying potential issues. Start by creating a workspace on Creately and conduct a brainstorming session together with your team to define the project or event’s objectives and scope. Using a mind map or an affinity diagram will help you to gather everyone’s ideas and record them in an organized manner.
-
Break the project into smaller tasks, estimate the time it would take to complete each and arrange them in the order that they need to be completed. Once the order is determined, you can start assigning tasks to team members and use a Kanban board to track them.
-
Make a draft timeline of important milestones and deadlines, using one from the wide range of timeline templates. You can easily customize it by dragging and dropping elements from the dedicated shape library.
-
Style your timeline and add images. With Creately you can quickly style your timeline with preset color themes or even choose your own to reflect the company’s branding. While you can import images, clipart, gifs, logos, icons, etc. right from your device to customize your timeline, you can also use the built-in Google image search to find more images from across the web.
-
Collaborate around the timeline with your team members to get everyone on the same page and to keep everyone informed. Review the timeline together with your team and make changes and improvements where necessary. Get comments and feedback from team members to ensure that the goals you have set are achievable within the timeline.
-

FAQs About the Timeline Maker in Creately
Timelines are useful especially in project management, since they allow you to plan a project properly and identify tasks that need to be completed depending on the priority. Teams can easily collaborate and use timelines as a visualization of a particular sequence of events, tasks or project milestones. It also improves communication among team members since everyone is aware of deadlines and how the project should progress with successive events.
Timelines are also important when illustrating the history of a particular subject or theory, as it enables you to present an overview of what you want to convey to your audience.
