    Link Tasks and Manage the Critical Path

    Connect tasks using Finish-to-Start, Start-to-Start, Finish-to-Finish and Start-to-Finish dependencies, add lag and lead time, apply constraints and deadlines, and read the critical path and float to protect your delivery dates.

    Assign and Level Resources

    Set up work, material and cost resources, assign them with the right units, spot over-allocation, and use resource levelling and effort-driven scheduling to balance workload across a realistic, deliverable plan.

    Set Baselines and Track Progress

    Baseline the approved plan, record actual progress with percent complete and actual values, use the Tracking Gantt, and analyse schedule variance so you always know whether work is ahead, on track or slipping.
