Project Scheduling Software

Project Scheduling Software that keeps your plan on track

The plan you build on day one starts drifting on day two.

Build schedules, baseline the plan, and track actual progress against it. Manage dependencies across the whole project, and see schedule variance while there is still time to act, not at Friday's status meeting.

From project plan to delivery control

A schedule is a living thing, not a document

Completix follows your plan through its whole life, from the first task you type to the progress that lands in the boardroom, so the plan and the work never drift apart.

01

Plan

Build the schedule structure fast: tasks, phases, dependencies and effort, in the browser, no desktop install.

02

Baseline

Lock the agreed schedule as a baseline so you can always show what you committed to and when.

03

Track

Capture real progress and effort. Planned versus actual, visible on every task, live.

04

Reschedule

When a date moves, dependent tasks cascade and the critical path recalculates at once.

05

Report

Progress and milestones flow into status reports and portfolio dashboards without a rebuild.

Schedule management, plan vs actual

Know Where You Really Stand Against the Plan

Assign effort, capture progress, and baseline the schedule from day one. The moment actuals pull away from the baseline, you see it on the task, so you act on a three day slip this week instead of explaining a three week one next month. Assignments here connect to resource management, so schedule and capacity are read from the same data.

  • Assign effort and compare planned work with actual time reported
  • Baseline the approved schedule and monitor variance on every task and phase
  • See schedule changes while there is still time to act, not at the next meeting

See the Impact of Every Schedule Change

Link tasks with the logic that fits how the work actually happens, then let the schedule do the arithmetic. Drag a date and dependent tasks recalculate, the critical path redraws, and you can see the knock-on to go-live before you commit to anything.

Finish-to-start Start-to-start Finish-to-finish Lead and lag
  • Critical path for project management is calculated automatically and highlighted right in the Gantt
  • Date changes cascade through dependent tasks and recalculate instantly
  • Drag-and-drop rescheduling, with schedule history and restore points
  • The approved end date changes only when a change request says so
Milestones and status reporting

Milestones That Connect Delivery to Reporting

Mark the moments stakeholders care about and let the schedule carry them upward. Milestone status reflects the tasks beneath it, and when you post a project status report it captures the current state as that period's permanent record, so the boardroom view is built from the work you already did.

  • Custom milestones visible across Gantt, Timeline, Calendar and Kanban views
  • Milestone status reflects the completion of the tasks that feed it
  • Status stays live on screen, posting captures a snapshot for the record
  • Schedule slip surfaces in the Warning Center for your review, never silently

These milestones flow straight into the period status report. Post it and this state is locked as the record for the period.

One schedule, every perspective

One Schedule. Every Perspective.

Keep one set of schedule data and view it the way each person needs to work: the Gantt for planning, a timeline for sponsors, a calendar for the week ahead, a board for delivery teams. Not separate schedules, one schedule, shown four ways.

Your Schedule Should Never Live in Isolation

A schedule tells you what happens and when. It becomes more valuable the moment it is connected to who is doing the work, what it costs, what could go wrong, and how it gets reported.

Schedule

Know what needs to happen and when.

Resources

Know who is responsible and how much effort is required.

Budget

Understand the financial effect of delivery changes.

RAID

Connect schedule risks, issues and dependencies to the work.

Status

Turn live schedule data into project status reporting.

Portfolio

Roll delivery information into executive reporting.

Coming from MS Project

Keep the Scheduling Power. Lose the Desktop.

If your team plans in Microsoft Project, the Gantt, dependency logic and critical path will feel familiar. What changes is what the schedule connects to.

Completix is not just a Gantt replacement. It connects project scheduling to the broader PPM operating model, resources, budget, RAID, status reporting and executive reporting, in one browser-based workspace.

Microsoft Project offers strong native scheduling. Capabilities such as browser access, multi-user collaboration, portfolio rollups and timesheets are available through Project Online or Project for the web, typically with separate licensing and setup. Completix, and Completix import and export of MPP files, cover schedule migration, not a live two-way sync with Microsoft Project.

Frequently asked questions

Project Scheduling Software, Answered

The most common questions buyers ask about scheduling, dependencies, baselines and how Completix compares to MS Project.

What is project scheduling software?

Project scheduling software is used to build, sequence and track the tasks, phases, milestones and dependencies that make up a project delivery plan, then keep that plan current as the real work happens.

What is the difference between a project schedule and a project plan?

A project plan covers scope, budget, resources, risk and governance. The schedule is the timeline component of that plan, the sequence of tasks and dates that shows when the work happens and what depends on what.

Can Completix manage project dependencies?

Yes. Completix supports finish-to-start, start-to-start and finish-to-finish dependencies with lead and lag, and cascades date changes through dependent tasks automatically.

Does Completix support Gantt charts and critical path?

Yes. Every schedule is built and viewed as a Gantt chart, and the critical path is calculated and highlighted so you always know which tasks control the finish date.

Can I baseline a project schedule?

Yes. Lock a baseline once the plan is agreed, then track planned dates against actual dates and progress on every task and phase.

Can Completix track planned versus actual schedule performance?

Yes. Effort, progress and dates are captured against the baseline continuously, and variance is surfaced in the Warning Center for review rather than discovered at the next status meeting.

Can Completix replace Microsoft Project?

Completix covers the core scheduling capability of MS Project, Gantt charts, dependencies, critical path and baselines, in a browser-based workspace, and connects that schedule to resources, budget, RAID and portfolio reporting. Teams standardized on MS Project files can import and export MPP files.

Can project schedules connect to resources and budgets?

Yes. Tasks link to resource assignments and effort, and schedule changes are visible alongside the project budget, RAID log and status report for the same project, so a delivery date change and its financial or risk effect are read from the same place.
