How Can Teams Collaboratively Create a Timeline for a Project/Event Using Creately?

Timelines are useful in planning and managing projects, tracking progress and identifying potential issues. Start by creating a workspace on Creately and conduct a brainstorming session together with your team to define the project or event’s objectives and scope. Using a mind map or an affinity diagram will help you to gather everyone’s ideas and record them in an organized manner.
