A timeline can provide context and set expectations for stakeholders by visually representing the progression of a project or process. It shows where a project is currently at, what has been accomplished to date, and what is yet to be done. This helps stakeholders understand the project's status and future steps. It also allows them to see if the project is on track or if there are any delays or issues that need to be addressed. Furthermore, timelines can show sub-tasks under a single topic or project, each with its own workstream, providing a detailed view of the project's progress.

The multi-stream timelines show sub-tasks under a single topic or project. Each one has its own workstream. This timeline provides a 6-month view, but it can be updated to 12 months (with increments of two). X's or check marks show which tasks have been completed or not, with space underneath to write notes. (Slide 46)

In the multi-stream timeline, X's and check marks are used to indicate the status of tasks. Specifically, they show which tasks have been completed and which have not. There is also space underneath for notes to be written.

The 6-month view of the timeline contributes to project planning by providing a clear and concise overview of the project's progress and future tasks. It allows project managers to track the progress of sub-tasks under a single topic or project, each having its own workstream. This helps in identifying which tasks have been completed and which are pending, facilitating better planning and execution. It also provides a platform to write notes, further enhancing the planning process. The 6-month view can be updated to a 12-month view for longer projects.
