Purposedifferent
When a project, incident, or change process is only remembered in fragments, Timeline brings the sequence back into a readable form. It makes turning points, precursors, and after-effects recognizable over the course of time.When a service experience is spread across several touchpoints, it brings frontstage and backstage together.

It separates what needs regular steering from what rarely needs attention.
