What's the best way to programatically visualize a roadmap on the web?

Question

We have a list of deliverables in a database across a number of projects with the data points:

• Project
• Function
• Delivery Date

I wanted to figure out the best way of visualizing this on the web in some sort of timeline roadmap view. can anyone suggest any good ways of doing this? I

Ideally i would like to be able to click on item that can then drill down into a details page that we have fore each project description, etc. .

Answer 1

Use timeline web widget. It's free and open source.

Edit: you can play with the control with a Google Doc Spreedsheet if you are not sure to dive in yet http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=pO3Ze62OAU2Ev1xfh3TWsWA
