Cultural Tip
In Italian business contexts English loanwords like *timeline* are very common, especially in tech and marketing. If you want a more traditionally Italian phrasing, use *cronoprogramma* or *programma temporale*. Remember that *rivedere* carries the nuance of “looking again” – it’s perfect for a second‑look or a quick audit, not for a first‑time introduction.
