What's included
The seven phases every implementation goes through, already linked: design waits on discovery, build on design sign-off, SIT on build, UAT on SIT, and the go/no-go on UAT, training and the cutover rehearsal together. Training material starts once the design is signed off and end-user training overlaps the last week of UAT. Every task carries a RAG status, effort and cost. Push UAT out a week in the simulator and watch go-live and hypercare move with it.

16 links, so a slip shows up where it lands
The longest chain in the template. Every link is real: the Gantt draws it, the Impact view scores it, and the simulator moves everything downstream when you delay a task.
