Creating An Event Timeline & To Do List
- Apr 8
- 1 min read
A Timeline is an ordered representation of events generally displayed on a time scale. It can be an effective tool to display activities, goals, and action items.
Some Basic Timeline Questions Include:
What is the purpose of this Timeline? For example, conduct Outreach for recruiting
women to join the UBC; increase Sister participation in committee meetings; or get your
local SIB committee involved in National Events.
What is the basic unit of measurement for this Timeline? For example, a Timeline might
display information by the Day, by the Month, by the Year, or by some other Period of Time.
What “other” events might be occurring during the period represented by this
Timeline? For example, Local Union picnics, Local Union meetings, membership
appreciation events, Carpenters Contract Rallies, JATC events, or community events.
The above Susan G. Komen example shows that Breast Cancer Awareness Month occurs in Canada during October.
Which events on this Timeline “need to happen” before other events can occur? For
example, if your Timeline focuses on recruitment, the dates and times Locals or JATC’s will be accepting applicants or new members must occur before the dates and times for new member orientation.
Which type of Timeline will you be using? For example, wall timeline, book timeline, or
computer timeline.
What might go wrong with this Timeline? For example, Sisters may not volunteer as
expected, funds needed for the event might not be available, or the weather may cause
some problems. Be prepared for unexpected issues and the time it takes to resolve them.
