Schedule Tracker
Build and baseline a project schedule. Gantt view, task dependencies, baseline snapshots, and variance tracking. Not an AI engine — doesn't consume runs.
What it does
Schedule Tracker is a lightweight project schedule built into the workspace. Add tasks and milestones, set dependencies, visualize on a Gantt, baseline the plan, and track variance as work happens. It's distinct from full CPM software (MS Project, Primavera) — no resource leveling, no monte-carlo — but it handles the 90% case for small-to-mid projects without the overhead.
When to use it
- Small-to-mid projects where full CPM software is overkill.
- Projects where the schedule changes constantly and you want a lightweight tool your team will actually update.
- As a companion to your primary scheduler — keep a simplified overview here for stakeholder views.
Step by step
Open Schedule
Sidebar → Schedule.
Add tasks
+ Add task button — enter name, start, end, duration auto-computes. Or click and drag on the Gantt.
Set dependencies
Drag from one bar to another to create a finish-to-start dependency. Other relationships configurable in the row editor.
Assign owner / trade
Each task has an owner field.
Baseline
Click Baseline to snapshot the current schedule. All future variance is measured against this snapshot.
Update as work progresses
Set percent-complete or actual dates. Variance shows in red vs the baseline.
Every control, explained
+ Add taskCreates a new row. Required: name + start + duration (or start + end).
Drag on GanttReschedule by dragging a bar. Ctrl+drag = duplicate.
Dependency arrowDrag from edge of one bar to another. Default finish-to-start; change type in the row editor.
BaselineSnapshots the current schedule. Multiple baselines supported — useful for multi-phase projects.
% complete sliderPer-task progress 0–100.
Filter trade / ownerNarrow the view to one responsibility.

Export XLSXTask table with start/end/dependencies for external editing.

Variance tracking
Once baselined, every actual-vs-planned difference shows as variance: amber for 1–7 days slippage, red for >7 days, green for ahead. Variance also feeds the Owner Report engine.
Troubleshooting
Tool warns at save time. Review the dependency chain and break the cycle.
