How to create a project timeline in 7 simple steps

Define the project scope.

  • Start by clearly describing the project’s goals, deliverables, and important milestones.
  • Identify the essential phases and final goals.

List All Project Tasks

  • Divide the project into smaller jobs or activities that need to be done.
  • Organize related projects into important milestones or stages.

Determine Task Dependencies

  • Determine which tasks require the accomplishment of others before they may begin.
  • This facilitates the logical sequencing of tasks.

Estimated Task Duration

  • Estimate how long each task will take to complete.
  • Be realistic and plan for contingencies.

Assign Resources

  • Assign team members, tools, and materials to individual tasks.
  • Make sure resources are available when needed.

Set Deadlines

  • Set each task’s start and finish dates based on its duration and dependencies.
  • Make that the deadlines are consistent with the overall project deadline.

Use a project management tool

  • To visually lay out the timetable, use tools such as Gantt charts, spreadsheets, or project management software (for example, Asana, Trello, and MS Project).
  • Update the timeline as needed to reflect progress, delays, or changes in scope.
