Project Timeline template
A phase-by-phase plan for a mid-sized project: discovery, design, build, test and launch, with sign-off milestones between phases.

How to adapt this template
- Rename the phases to match how your team actually works, then drag each bar to its real dates.
- Keep sign-offs as milestones (no end date) so they show as diamonds that everyone can see.
- Switch to the Gantt view for the working plan and to the horizontal view for the one-slide summary.
