The Gantt chart format can also be applied to timelines.  Timelines are often similar to very detailed milestone charts.  They might include bars, similar to those found on a Gantt chart, but often they will include milestone markers, representing significant events in history.

All Schedules on this web site were created using Milestones software. This includes Milestones Professional, which is a powerful, fast, and easy to use project scheduler, and Milestones Simplicity, a basic program for creating Gantt charts. These programs can both be used to present schedules. They are both great examples of project planning software.
