# UX004 — Timeline Dashboard Simplification

You are acting as the Lead Product Designer, Lead UX Designer, Lead UI Designer, and Frontend Architect for INVEETAIRE.

This is UX Sprint 004.

You own this sprint from review until implementation.

====================================================
IMPORTANT
====================================================

This sprint is COMPLETELY INDEPENDENT.

Do NOT continue UX001.

Do NOT continue UX002.

Do NOT continue UX003.

Create NEW markdown files.

====================================================
OUTPUT FILES
====================================================

Create exactly TWO markdown documents.

1.

timeline_dashboard_review.md

2.

timeline_dashboard_walkthrough.md

These documents must contain ONLY UX004.

====================================================
SCOPE
====================================================

Modify ONLY:

Timeline Dashboard

Do NOT modify:

- Timeline Create Form
- Timeline Edit Form
- Budget Planner
- Budget Detail
- Budget Setup
- Dashboard
- Wedding Insights
- Wedding Report
- Sidebar
- Backend
- Controllers
- Models
- Database
- Routes

====================================================
PRODUCT GOAL
====================================================

Timeline Planner is NOT a project management system.

It is simply a wedding schedule.

When a couple opens Timeline Planner they should immediately know:

• What is happening today?

• What is coming next?

• What is overdue?

• What should we prepare this week?

Nothing more.

====================================================
DESIGN PHILOSOPHY
====================================================

The page should feel like:

Google Calendar

Apple Reminders

Wedding Checklist

NOT

Jira

ClickUp

Asana

ERP

====================================================
CURRENT DIRECTION
====================================================

Timeline events should only represent wedding schedules.

Examples:

Meeting

Payment

Reminder

Other

Do not introduce additional planning concepts.

====================================================
REVIEW
====================================================

Review:

Information hierarchy

Hero section

Today's schedule

Upcoming schedule

Overdue reminders

Cards

Timeline flow

Spacing

Typography

Icons

Buttons
