Google-style project timeline

This project timeline is designed for a simple online planning conversation. It starts with kickoff and requirements gathering, then makes plan approval explicit before the delivery work begins. A short user-review period tests the solution before handoff. The final follow-up period reminds the team to observe the first outcomes rather than treating handoff as the end of the work. It is suitable for an internal project, a small client delivery, or a cross-functional initiative that needs a single chronological view. Keep the labels brief and put detailed assignments, documents, and discussions in the workspace where the team manages the project.
