Simile Timeline, an AJAX widget for visualising time-based events »
Simile Timeline is an interactive widget for arbitrary timelines. It implements a data visualisation that is something like what Edward Tufte mocked up as an alternative to Gantt charts for project timelines.
It gives two views: a zoomed in view of the detail, and a zoomed out view to give context. Looks great.
Lifehacker has a good example of it being used to record a personal timeline — a CV of sorts.
(That I was talking about in my last post.)
Thanks to Bowen Dwelle for the pointer.
Ask E.T.: Project management graphics »
In this thread on project management graphics, Edward Tufte shows a fantastic alternative solution to Gantt charts, which as implemented in MS Project scale badly both in the time and the task dimensions.
Would love to see an application implement this. Or maybe have a go myself.
