Objective
This article explains how to create a Timeline (Gantt chart) in PSOhub by building a project plan with task lists, tasks, milestones, and dates — and how to use the Timeline view to track and adjust your project schedule.
Prerequisites
Eligible access
You must have Admin, Controller, or Project Manager access in PSOhub.
Project created
A project must already exist in PSOhub.
Steps
Create Your Tasklist(s)
- Open your project and navigate to the Tasks tab.
- Click + Add tasklist. Enter the Name and corresponding Contract line of the task list.
- Click Save. Repeat as needed.
📌 Note: Tasklists structure your Timeline into clearly defined phases or deliverables, making it easier to read and manage.
Add Tasks & Milestones
- Within each task list, create your tasks and milestones. Make sure each task has a Start date and a Due date.
⚠️ Important: Tasks without start and due dates will not appear correctly in the Timeline.
Open the Timeline View
- Once your project has task lists, tasks, milestones, and dates in place, select the Timeline view in the Tasks tab of your project. Your project plan is now displayed as a Gantt chart.
- From the Timeline view you can:
- Adjust task dates by dragging tasks along the timeline.
- Create dependencies between tasks to define the order of work.
- Save a baseline to compare planned versus actual progress.
- Update % Done to track task completion directly on the Gantt chart.
Result
Your project plan is displayed as a Timeline (Gantt chart) in PSOhub. Tasks, milestones, and dependencies are visible at a glance, giving you full control over your project schedule. Changes made in the Timeline view — such as date adjustments and dependency links — are reflected immediately across the plan.
Next Steps
Add milestones to your plan to mark key project events and trigger invoicing when they are reached.
