See what a slipped date does to the finish
A critical-path programme in working days: move a date and every dependent task moves.
- Critical path recomputed live
- Links with lag and lead
- Printed under your heading
The frozen bar chart
Drawn for the tender
The bar chart is drawn to win the job, then forgotten.
A slip nobody traced
One task slips and nobody knows if the finish moved.
Software on one laptop
The programme waits for the one person who knows the software.
Move one date and the chain follows
Each task carries a working-day duration and its links. Change a duration, link or pinned start and the schedule reworks itself, the critical path in red.
How it works.
List the tasks
Name each, give its working-day duration and the task it follows.
Link them
Type each link as a scheduler would and the bar follows.
Baseline and print
Set a baseline, see slippage bar under bar, then print.
Questions, answered.
What is the red path?
It is the critical path: tasks with no float, where a lost day delays the finish.
Calendar days or working days?
Working days, so a five-day task starting on Thursday finishes the following Wednesday.
Where is the programme stored?
It stays in this browser; a printed PDF is the only copy that leaves.
