Common example

timeline
    title Product Evolution
    2023
        Initial concept
        Stakeholder interviews
    2024
        MVP launched
        Reporting added
    2025
        Automation expanded
        Legacy process retired

• Project history
• Product evolution
• Career or system milestones

Watch for

• Timeline is for chronology, not dependency logic
• Use a Gantt chart if duration matters
