Summary
Dark timeline diagram organizing a CRM design project into four phases (Strategy, Discovery, Solution, 3-day/22-day/64-day intervals) with task pills below each milestone.
Visual description
A four-phase project timeline on a dark charcoal background. The main headline "Project Timeline" appears at top-left in white sans-serif, with descriptive copy on the right. Below, four vertical sections are anchored by circled icons (bulb, shield, star) connected by a vertical rule. Each section is labeled with a phase name and duration. The Strategy phase lists three rounded pill buttons (Goals, Functional, Ideation Stage) in muted gray. Discovery shows five pills (Global Research, Competitor Analysis, User Interview, User Interview, Flow Map). Solution displays six pills including the only accent color, a bright lime-green "UI Design" pill among muted gray peers (User Flow, Sketching, Wireframes, Design System, Prototyping). The spacing and alignment create a clear sequential flow.
Key takeaway
The bright accent color (lime) on one single strategic step draws eye and signal priority without overwhelming the hierarchy. Rounded rectangular pill buttons group related tasks under each phase, maintaining clean alignment. The icon + label + duration pattern above each phase section is clear and scannable for stakeholder review.
Reuse notes
Effective for project planning decks, design-system documentation, and Agile/sprint overviews. Works well when one phase is the team's current focus (highlight it in accent color). Clean on presentations and PDFs due to monochrome base.
