What This Template Offers
A pre-built multi-line chart that maps the intensity of each online course development phase across an 8-week production sprint.
- 4 workflow phases tracked simultaneously: Planning, Content Creation, Review, and Publishing
- 8-week timeline with weekly effort intensity scores (0-100)
- Color-coded lines with distinct solid and dashed styles for quick phase identification
- Legend at the bottom for clean, presentation-ready layout
- Smooth monotone curves that reveal natural workflow overlaps and handoffs
Use cases
Perfect Use Cases
eLearning Project Managers
Use the chart in kickoff meetings to set realistic expectations for when each phase peaks and how phases overlap during crunch weeks.
Course Creators and Solopreneurs
Plan your own 8-week launch sprint by visualizing where your energy should focus each week, avoiding burnout during overlapping phases.
L&D Teams and Training Departments
Present a repeatable production framework to leadership, demonstrating a structured workflow that scales across multiple course projects.
Customize
How to Customize
Adjust Your Timeline
Replace the 8-week categories with your own sprint labels — use specific dates, module names, or a shorter/longer production cycle to match your real schedule.
Edit Phase Effort Values
Update the weekly intensity values for each phase to reflect your actual project plan, whether some phases run shorter or certain weeks are more demanding.
Add or Remove Phases
Introduce new lines for phases like 'Stakeholder Feedback' or 'LMS Setup,' or remove phases that don't apply to your workflow, to build a chart that mirrors your exact process.
Key Benefits
- Instantly communicates workflow complexity without walls of text or spreadsheets
- Makes phase overlaps and handoff points visually obvious, reducing coordination gaps
- Reusable framework adaptable to any course length or team size
- Polished, professional output ready for proposals, reports, and team presentations
Pro Tips
- Use the dashed line style (already applied to 'Review & Editing') to visually separate quality-assurance phases from production phases at a glance.
- Overlay two versions of this chart — your planned effort vs. actual effort — to run a retrospective and improve future course production timelines.
- Export as PNG for slide decks or use the embed code to include a live, interactive version directly in your project management documentation.
