Project Stages Timeline Plane Diagram Example

Slide Content

The slide titled "Project Stages Timeline Plane Diagram Example" outlines key phases of project management: Takeoff (Project Start), which involves creating the Project Charter; Planning, which details the Project Scope Statement, Work Breakdown Structure, and Gantt Chart; Execution focuses on Forecast, Project Status, and Progress Tracking; Control includes Activity, Goal, and Budget Tracking; and Landing (Project End) encapsulates Project Analysis and Project Report.

Graphical Look

• The slide’s background is white, providing a clean and professional look.
• A horizontal dashed line runs across the top, representing a timeline with five circular nodes.
• Each node is connected to a stylized paper plane-style icon pointing downwards towards a rectangular text box.
• The first and last text boxes (Takeoff and Landing, respectively) are colored differently from the rest, emphasizing the start and end stages of the project.
• Inside the rectangular boxes, each project stage is listed with expandable bullet points underneath in smaller fonts.
• Each phase box is paired with a unique icon on the left, corresponding to the stage it represents; icons include a rocket for Takeoff and a circular checkmark for Control.
• There are colored circles that correspond with the text boxes, each with its own unique color and linked with a dotted line from the timeline.

The slide layout is neat and follows a logical flow, which makes it easy to understand the progression of project stages. The icons and color differentiation aid in quickly associating each stage with its respective tasks.

• During project update presentations, to indicate current stage and next steps in the project.
