Which term refers to a plan for when action items will be completed in a project?

• A. Timelines
• B. Financial Reporting
• C. Educational Objectives
• D. Hiring Process

Answer: (A)

Scheduling when things will be done in a project is the key idea here. A timeline lays out start and finish dates for each action item, shows how long tasks should take, marks important milestones, and notes any dependencies between tasks. This helps the team coordinate work, allocate resources, and track progress against due dates, making the project stay on schedule. Other terms refer to different areas: financial reporting deals with money and budgeting, educational objectives are about what learners should achieve, and the hiring process describes steps to recruit staff. So the term that captures a plan for when action items will be completed is timeline.
