Project timeline template
One project, broken into phases, with the review gates marked as their own events rather than buried in a phase that has already started. Discovery, build, and hardening run as spans; kickoff, midpoint, and go/no-go sit on single days where a date slipping is immediately obvious.

What is in it
The delivery lane carries the phases, and the reviews lane keeps the gates separate so they stay readable when a phase runs long and swallows the space around it.
- Delivery
- Reviews
2 layers and 6 events, dated around today so the timeline opens on something readable rather than a year you have to scroll to.
What it suits
- Planning a project with clear phases and a decision point between them
- Showing a client or a steering group where the gates are
- Tracking a delivery whose end date matters more than its detail
- Printing a one-page plan to bring into a room
Once it is open
Drag an event to move it, or drag either edge to change how long it runs. Zoom out to see the whole span and back in to work on a week. Export the result as a PNG for a deck, an SVG for a design tool, or JSON to keep a copy you can reimport later — and undo anything you regret with ⌘Z.
