What is a timeline template?
A timeline is a visual diagram that plots key dates, milestones and deliverables.
Many planning conversations cover months or years of activity in the space of an hour. Someone mentions a launch date, someone else flags a dependency three quarters out, and by the end of the meeting you've got a rough sense of the plan but nothing immediately shareable. A timeline pulls all of that into a clear, ordered diagram, built directly from your recording, with each phase, date and owner pulled out automatically.

How to use a timeline template
Record your meeting in the Contented app, select the timeline template, and download a structured visual diagram within minutes.
1. Record your conversation
Capture your planning session, roadmap review or strategy meeting in the Contented app. Product launches, project kick-offs, marketing campaigns, and any discussion where milestones and dates are being mapped against a sequence of events will be great for this template.
2. Select the timeline template
Choose timeline from within your Contented workspace. Contented identifies each phase or milestone raised during the conversation, attaches the associated dates, deliverables, owners and budget figures, and orders them chronologically.
3. Review and export
Download as a PNG or SVG file within minutes of the meeting concluding. The diagram can be shared directly with stakeholders, dropped into a presentation deck, or included in documentation.
Who uses a timeline template?
Anyone who needs to view and communicate a sequence of events clearly, whether that's a year-long product launch or a six-week sprint.
A few examples:
- Product and marketing teams planning launches, where milestones like testing, shipment, market launch and ramp-up all need plotting against fixed dates.
- Project managers running kick-offs and steering committees, who need a shareable view of the critical path.
- Operations leads coordinating production schedules across suppliers, distribution channels, and retail partners.
- Agencies running client campaigns, where the timeline is a document everyone refers back to.
- Event organisers and conference teams sequencing the lead-up to a big day, from venue lock-in to communications drops.
