## Project Stages Timeline Plane Diagram Example

### Slide Content

The slide titled "Project Stages Timeline Plane Diagram Example" outlines key phases of project management:

- **Takeoff (Project Start):** Involves creating the Project Charter.
- **Planning:** Details the Project Scope Statement, Work Breakdown Structure, and Gantt Chart.
- **Execution:** Focuses on Forecast, Project Status, and Progress Tracking.
- **Control:** Includes Activity, Goal, and Budget Tracking.
- **Landing (Project End):** Encapsulates Project Analysis and Project Report.

### Graphical Look

- The slide’s background is white, providing a clean and professional look.
- A horizontal dashed line runs across the top, representing a timeline with five circular nodes.
- Each node is connected to a stylized paper plane-style icon pointing downwards towards a rectangular text box.
- The first and last text boxes (Takeoff and Landing, respectively) are colored differently from the rest, emphasizing the start and end stages of the project.
- Inside the rectangular boxes, each project stage is listed with expandable bullet points underneath in smaller fonts.
- Each phase box is paired with a unique icon on the left, corresponding to the stage it represents; icons include a rocket for Takeoff and a circular checkmark for Control.
- There are colored circles that correspond with the text boxes, each with its own unique color and linked with a dotted line from the timeline.

The slide layout is neat and follows a logical flow, which makes it easy to understand the progression of project stages. The icons and color differentiation aid in quickly associating each stage with its respective tasks.
