"If your team doesn't need full-blown project management software, Google Sheets is handy for tracking the status of your projects. It becomes even more useful when you use its timeline view. This function adds a tab to your spreadsheet that shows you the major tasks or stages of your project as a series of cards arranged by start and end date. Adding a timeline to your spreadsheet provides a robust way for you and your co-workers to see and track your project's milestones."
"If your spreadsheet has at least one column of data in date format, you can view it as a timeline. But to use this feature to its fullest capabilities, your spreadsheet should contain at least three specific elements: a name, start date, and end date or duration for each task or project stage. (For simplicity's sake, we'll just say "task" from here on.)"
Google Sheets timeline view displays major project tasks or stages as cards arranged by start and end dates, enabling visual tracking of milestones and overlaps. The feature adds a dedicated timeline tab when a sheet includes date-formatted columns and ideally requires task name, start date, and end date or duration for each entry. Timeline view is available only to paid Google Workspace Business and Enterprise plans; free accounts lack access. Spreadsheets with clearly labeled column headers for name and date fields allow creation and editing of timeline cards, and timelines can be applied to new or existing project-tracking sheets.
