What is a fishbone timeline?

Vizzlo’s fishbone timeline displays the course of events along a time axis. It resembles a fish skeleton, with “pin bones” attached to the spine.

This timeline is ideal to visualize milestones occurring at a same point or period in time.

Follow these easy steps to make your timeline online in just a few seconds:
