What is a timeline?
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.

For example, in the case of establishing a project timeline in the implementation phase of the life cycle of a computer system. [wikipedia]
