When to use it
Use for two to four parallel tracks (teams, products, or historical streams) across three to six shared periods with two to twelve total milestone events. Shows discrete point-in-time milestones aligned to periods, with empty positions preserved and coincident events stacked vertically. Does not show continuous duration bars (use roadmap-swimlanes-period-columns-bars) or single linear timelines.
