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.
-
Easily share the timeline with relevant stakeholders by exporting it in PNG, SVG, PDF, and JPEG formats to embed in websites, presentations, etc. You can also share it with anyone via an email or link invite making collaboration easier for remote teams.
