Lay the stages of a job on a calendar, and see what each one waits for.
A project timeline lays the stages of a job on a calendar and shows what each one is waiting for. Move one date and everything behind it moves with it, so a delay is visible the day it happens. The site meeting then argues about the plan on the screen and not about what somebody remembers agreeing.
Every fit-out and every site job runs on an order that everybody knows and nobody has written down. Electrical goes before plaster, plaster before putty, and putty before the carpenter. When the false ceiling man does not turn up on the 14th, four other dates quietly become wrong and no vendor is told.
The timeline holds the stages, their dates and what each depends on. Drag the ceiling work forward and the painting shifts with it. The vendor whose delivery has just become early gets a message, which is the part that saves the money.

It is one part of a system, not an island.
A module earns its place by what it passes to the next one. These are the connections we set up most often.
- Task management
- Resource allocation

How we would put it in.
Questions owners ask about project timelines with gantt charts.
Is a Gantt chart needed for a two-bedroom flat?
No. For a twenty-day job a task list with dates is better, and a chart is just decoration. Timelines start earning their keep on jobs of three months or more, or where six vendors have to be sequenced.
Will the site supervisor keep it updated?
He should not have to. He marks stages done on his phone, and the manager in the office moves the dates. Asking a supervisor to maintain a chart is how these systems die in the second month.
Can the client see the timeline?
The milestones, yes, through the portal. Showing a customer every internal stage invites a phone call about each one, which no project manager has time for.
Does it connect to the task list and the purchase orders?
Yes. A stage carries its tasks, and material for a stage can be ordered against its planned date. Our interior design system tracks site work progress against the project file in the same way.
