See what actually drives your finish date.
Set milestones, wire up task dependencies, and read your whole plan on a Gantt timeline — with the critical path highlighted automatically and a baseline that shows how far you’ve drifted. Scheduling that answers the only question that matters: what has to happen next?

What's shipped
Planning that a delivery lead can trust.
Every capability below is live and runtime-verified.
Milestones
Mark the moments that matter — a beta, a go-live, a hand-off — each with a due date and an open / met / missed status, shown on the project and along the timeline.
Task dependencies
Declare finish-to-start links (“this can’t start until that finishes”). A “blocked by” and “blocks” view on every task makes the chain explicit.
Cycle protection
The dependency graph is guarded: a link that would create a loop — directly or transitively — is rejected before it’s saved.
Gantt timeline
Task bars scaled across the project’s date window, a live “today” line, and a per-bar dependency count so you read the plan at a glance.
Critical path
A full forward/backward pass computes early/late start and finish and slack, then highlights the zero-slack path in red — the tasks that actually move the finish date.
Baseline & variance
Snapshot the current plan as a baseline; the timeline then shows a ghost bar and an ahead/behind day count so slippage is visible, not hidden.
Not just pretty bars
The critical path is calculated — not guessed.
Most Gantt views just draw bars. AWRA runs the classic critical-path method over your dependency graph: a topological order, a forward pass for earliest start/finish, a backward pass for latest, then slack. Tasks with zero slack are the critical path — delay one and the whole project slips.
- Early start / early finish from a forward pass along dependencies.
- Late start / late finish from a backward pass from the project end.
- Slack per task — how long it can slip without moving the finish.
- Zero-slack tasks highlighted as the critical path on the timeline.

From plan to control
Four steps to a plan you can defend.
1
Schedule
Give tasks start and due dates and set milestones.
2
Sequence
Add finish-to-start dependencies; cycles are blocked.
3
Baseline
Snapshot the plan so drift becomes measurable.
4
Track
Read the timeline, watch the critical path and variance.
Questions
The practical details.
What dependency types are supported?
Finish-to-start — the most common and clearest link. A task can be blocked by many others, and cycles (including transitive ones) are rejected before they’re created.
Do I have to fill in dates for the Gantt to work?
Bars are drawn from task start and due dates; tasks without dates simply don’t plot on the timeline. The critical-path calculation uses whatever schedule you’ve entered.
What is a baseline for?
It freezes the current plan so you can measure drift. After you set a baseline, the timeline shows a ghost bar and an ahead/behind day count per task.
Are the dependency arrows drawn on the chart?
Dependencies are shown as a count on each bar and as full “blocked by / blocks” lists on the task page; literal arrow-drawing on the chart is a visual polish item on the roadmap.
Does this need a special plan?
Planning & Gantt is part of the Projects & Tasks pillar, available from the Basic plan up.
Where does this sit in the roadmap?
It’s live, alongside Task Management, Agile Delivery, and Time, Budget & Flexibility — see the Projects & Tasks overview.
