"Create a horizontal timeline showing 'Key Milestones' for a software product launch spanning 12 months. Generate 10 milestone events: 'Kickoff Meeting' (Jan 5), 'Requirements Complete' (Jan 30), 'Architecture Approved' (Feb 15), 'Alpha Release' (Apr 1), 'Beta Testing Starts' (May 15), 'Security Audit' (Jun 10), 'Performance Optimization' (Jul 20), 'Release Candidate' (Aug 30), 'Documentation Complete' (Sep 15), 'Public Launch' (Oct 1). Alternate milestone labels above and below the timeline to prevent overlap. Color-code by phase: Planning (blue), Development (green), Testing (orange), Launch (red). Add vertical connectors from timeline to labels. Mark today's date with a vertical dashed line. Include month labels on the axis. Title: 'Product Launch Roadmap 2024'."
