Project Milestones — Free Scatter Plot Template
This Project Milestones template plots the key checkpoints of a project as a scatter chart, so you can see at a glance when each stage lands across the timeline. The sample data tracks one project from Kickoff (week 1) through Design Done (4), Alpha (8), Beta (12), RC (14) and Launch (16), spacing the deadlines out so gaps and crunch periods are easy to spot. It's a fast starting point for turning a rough schedule into a clear visual you can drop into a status update or plan.
