Project Managers and executives need to present the progress of a project or plan to their audience. This is why the use of a timeline is so important. Through the use of a timeline, the audience can understand where the planned activities are supposed to be and how much work remains undone. The presenter will be able to map clearly the progress of the project to its initial stage, to the future milestones, and to the planned changes.

In order to be effective in this presentation, it is important to be able to map the project to its current stage and to the future stages. The timeline will show the current state, the future milestones, and the change log. It will be possible to use this timeline to provide visibility to the audience, so they can track the current state of the project and the future milestones.
