What are Timelines?

As you work toward any number of your business goals, it is pivotal that everyone involved is on the same page. Creating and tracking specific milestones is likely already a part of your business process for project/program kickoffs, financial planning, and/or goal tracking, to name a few. 

The FranchiCzar OS has a tool to handle this for you, Timelines! Set up your own milestone checklists to track your business goals, using Timelines.  

Why Should I use Timelines?

Utilizing the FCOS tool "Timelines", fully integrates your milestone processes all in one place. This tool cuts the amount of time and keystrokes you would otherwise use switching between any number of programs. 

Getting Started
