Project Timeline Explained |
|
|
Project timelines are planning tools that allow you to organize all the
activities that make up a project, in order. Create milestones, set deadlines,
and manage tasks, all in one easy to view location. Using timelines with
project timeline software unlocks interactive features that dramatically
improve the way they can be visualized and collaborate on projects.
Providing a visual representation, timeline are a visual list of tasks
or activities placed in chronological order, which lets project managers view
the entirety of the project in one place. A project timeline typically takes
the form of a horizontal bar chart, where each task is given a name and a
corresponding start and end date. It also provides an in-depth overview of the
entire project from start to finish. When a task starts and when it’s due—and
importantly, whether or not it’s dependent on another task.

| Understanding Project Status Reports |
|
| | A project
status report shows data over a certain period of time, essentially it’s a snap
shot. When these “snapshots” are taken regularly, it’s easy to track
progress and make adjustments. It’s a
document that describes the progress of a project within a specific time
period. Project managers use status reports to keep stakeholders informed of
progress and monitor costs, risks, time and work. Project status reports
allow project managers and stakeholders to visualize project data through
charts and graphs. |
