Timeline - Year Calendar.

Spreads a full year across a 4-quarter by 3-month calendar grid and chips only the months that carry a milestone, so the reader sees at a glance where the year is dense and where it is empty.

Overview

Best for: When you want an annual roadmap laid on an actual month grid so both the busy stretches and the quiet ones are visible.

Use: When an annual plan is best read on a month grid, and the contrast between milestone-heavy quarters and empty months is part of the message.

Avoid: Use timeline-gantt if work durations need bars, or timeline-phase-columns to describe quarterly themes in prose.
