What is a layered timeline?

A layered timeline is a graphical visualization of time periods that might or not overlap. Compared to a standard timeline that shows pinpointed single events, the layered timeline accurately expresses the duration/length of whole processes or events. Like in a Gantt chart, each bar/layer represents one process/task, with a start and an end date.

Vizzlo's layered timeline is elegant and very intelligible. All elements are easy to identify: even if your tasks/processes happen at the same time, they get organized into visible overlapping layers, with different colors and sizes.
