Task Timeline
A task timeline is a visual representation of tasks that need to be performed over a certain period for a project or strategic initiative. It helps in defining the sequence of tasks, determining their duration, identifying dependencies, and setting milestones. Task timelines serve as a critical project management tool, fostering accountability, tracking progress, and ensuring timely completion of tasks.
