About

The Post OP3 Pre-Capstone Timeline mind map template tracks a student's journey from March 2013 through February 2015, covering 13 distinct phases including a 'Program Pause' and five operational periods (OP1A through OP5). Designed for Gaia University learners, this template maps out specific milestones such as 'Orientation - Learning Online with Gaia U', 'Start NVC Journal', and 'Write "Fierce Compassion"', alongside concrete deliverables like 'Transformative Action Learning Certificate' and 'Emerging Leader Labs Summer Program'. The timeline visually organizes 60 nodes across a single sheet, making it a practical Post OP3 Pre-Capstone Timeline template for planning academic and personal development projects. It serves as both a Post OP3 Pre-Capstone Timeline cheat sheet and a Post OP3 Pre-Capstone Timeline template for students needing to balance coursework, certifications, and community engagement.
