Manage Your Project with Visual Timelines
Make a visual chart of your collected work for long-term projects or short sprints and see when all your tasks start and finish. If there are dependencies, easily link them to avoid bottlenecks. Set milestones, share the timeline with your team and then monitor their progress—all within one project timeline software.
Visualize Project Deadlines
Add start and end dates to your tasks, and they automatically populate a project timeline. See your entire project on one screen, and never lose track of a deadline again. When changes occur, simply drag-and-drop tasks to the new deadline. Features across the software automatically update to reflect the new dates.
Link Task Dependencies
Connect tasks that are dependent on one another by linking them using our timeline software. We have the capability for all four task dependencies—start to start, start to finish, finish to finish and finish to start—which will help you to prevent slippage later in your project.

Make a Timeline on ProjectManager
Project timeline software is the best way to view your task and project schedules on a sequential chart. It’s essential for project planning and monitoring progress. To make a project timeline in ProjectManager, just follow along with these steps.
1. Name Tasks
Upload your task list, or use one of our industry-specific templates to get started. Give each task a name to differentiate them. Once created, you can add tags to the tasks. Separate them by project, priority and more, so you can easily filter your project to find what you need.
2. Add Duration
Add the start and end dates for each task, and they will automatically be charted on the timeline as a bar that connects the two dates to indicate their duration. This will show you the estimated time it will take to complete each task.
3. Set Milestones
Set milestones on your project timeline to indicate the end of one phase and the start of another. Breaking up the larger project makes it easier to manage, and gives teams a sense of accomplishment when they’ve completed a milestone. It’s great for morale!
4. Link Dependent Tasks
Connect all the dependent tasks to avoid bottlenecks later in the project. Click anywhere on the task bar and drag it up or down to the task it’s dependent on. Task dependencies will show up on all project views.
5. Customize Colors & Columns
Create your timeline, then customize it with the colors you want and with as many columns as you need. You control the amount of data you want to include in your timeline.
6. Add Attachments & Comments
Attach pertinent documents and images to each task on your timeline. We have unlimited file storage that keeps all your important files in one place. If teams have questions, they can comment on the task.
7. Track Progress
Monitor your progress on the timeline by the shading of the duration bar connecting the start and end dates for a task. The more shaded, the closer to completion. Progress can also be tracked on the real-time dashboard, or by generating reports.
8. Edit as Needed
Change your timeline easily when issues arise in your project. All you need to do is drag and drop task tasks to a new start time or deadline. That change is then reflected throughout the software, and everyone is alerted by email or in-app notification.
9. Share With Stakeholders
Easily share your timeline with your teams and stakeholders. Teams need direction, and stakeholders require updates to know the project is progressing on schedule. Timelines can be exported as PDFs and printed out to be shared.
10. View Roadmap
See how all your timelines mesh on our roadmap view, which is useful when managing multiple projects at the same time. Here, you can make sure that each project is aligned with the strategic goals of the organization.
