Timeline

Noun · Slang & Abbreviations

Definitions

  1. An ordered account of what happened and when, especially during incidents or complex projects. In engineering slang, building the timeline is often the fastest way to turn confusion into something actionable.

    In plain English: A step-by-step sequence of events over time.

    Example: "Once they stopped arguing and built the timeline, it became obvious the bad deploy was a consequence rather than the original cause."
