Generally,
a timeline shows a sequence of events or projects over a period of time.
Timelines are particularly useful for studying science, as they
convey a sense of change over time. Wars and social movements are
often shown as timelines.
Some timelines are used for
project management. In these
cases, timelines are used to help team members to know what
milestones need to be achieved and under what time schedule. For
example, in the case of establishing a project timeline in the
implementation phase of the life cycle of a computer system.

will be done.
