Understand what has changed (and its impact) fast
Find which key metrics of your project have changed since your last schedule, and focus on where you want to drill further 🔬
- Has the project completion date changed? How many activities and milestones are delayed? How is our progress and performance?
- Will these changes affect my P80 position? How much has it changed?
- Has my critical path changed? How did the path's activity count and float change? Is it causing a delay?
Simply select your schedule from the drop-down menu, and click Compare. This will generate a range of information that you can use to identify all changes, and their impact, with the top banner focusing on project-wide KPIs.
Use the top banner to quickly find project-wide changes and associated details. For example, by hovering over the Critical Path you will be able to see the change in the number of activities, float and duration within that path fast and easily.
See the context of each change in the schedule
Compare the two schedules visually on an activity level in the form of a Gantt chart. If you find an activity of interest find out what has changed with a simple click!
- Can I visualize your project's schedule and see activities and changes relative to one and other?
- Can I see what activities have been added, modified, and removed from the schedule?
- Can I see what has changed in the modified activities? Has the Start Date, End Date, or Total Float along with many more? Has the criticality of this task changed?
Simply scroll through your schedule, see which activities and milestones have been added, modified, and removed. Click on an activity and get a detailed view below the Gantt chart - see what has changed fast and easily!
See how your critical path has changed
By selecting Critical Path you can examine how your project's critical path has changed.
See what activities and milestones have been removed from or added to your critical path. As before, click on the one you are interested in and you will see more detail below the Gantt chart!
Click on Critical Path and see how your critical path has changed. Scroll through it in a form of a Gantt chart. See on the left what activities and milestones have been added to or removed from your Critical Path. Click on any of the activities and milestones - see it in detail below the Gantt chart 'Export as PNG or PDF'
See how any other path has changed!
By selecting the + icon, you can examine how any of your project's paths has changed.
You can also specify a pass-through activity for that path!
Export as PNG, PDF or CSV
You can save the Gantt Chart comparison, the Critical Path (or any other selected path) comparison as a PNG or PDF file by simply clicking Export. This allows you to save it in a form that you can share with anyone.
Pop-up window might need to be enabled in your browser for the file to be exported
Investigate changes made to the schedule
Examine changes in your schedule at an activity or relationship level. Use the filters on the right-hand side to understand what has been modified:
- Which activities and milestones have changed? Which were deleted, modified, or added?
- Has there been a change in their relationships?
- Out of the activities that have changed, can I see which ones have their 'Finish Date' changed?
The answer is yes, you can drill down further on what has changed & how it has changed!
Data mode!
Do not forget to switch into the data mode in order to inspect what changed for any given activity across updates!
