The Simple Project Timeline Excel Template is an easy to use template that will help you create a timeline for your project. It includes features such as task dependencies, estimated duration, and more. Template Details: A timeline assists the project manager in presenting the high-level plan of a project to the stakeholders, team members, vendors, clients, etc. It is a simple tool that can easily present to all involved if they are ahead / on / behind schedule. It is very easy to visualize gaps, lapses, overlaps of tasks, and durations of the tasks. When presenting the status of a project, the timeline is an excellent method to show the PvA (Plan vs. Actual). Format: MS Excel Features: Project Timeline in excel features - Top rows represent timescale (Years > Months > Weeks), and the rightmost column the group/team names (HW, SW, Testing, etc.). Each task should then be compromised of a number of cells when each cell represents the duration of one week. Each group/team should have its own color for visualization’s sake.
