My second point is, if you’re looking to for a way to quickly convey when something will happen and how it fits into the bigger picture, a good timeline can go a long way. (Are you already convinced of the power of timelines and did you end up here in your search for a powerful Agile PPM tool to create timelines? I might have the answer for you…) Some timelines are even designed in a way to show where things happened in time, giving you geographic contexts for various events. They can show how events happened or are happening simultaneously. Timelines can stretch far back in time or fast-forward into the future.
Not only do they convey lots of information in a simple way, they also provide context for that information by displaying it sequentially along with other related events. I’ll share that bad boy all over the internet in no time.Ĭreative timelines are one of my favorite examples of useful visualizations. If a graphic conveys useful information quickly and looks good while doing it, sign me up.
I’ll be honest: I’m a sucker for good visualizations. This post was updated in January, 2021, to include different creative timeline examples and tie them more directly to project timeline creation tips.
