Completix

Project Schedule

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

Completix keeps your schedule honest as the work moves. Build it fast, baseline it, and watch planned against actual on every task, so a slip shows up the day it happens, not at Friday's status meeting.

How the schedule earns its keep

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 structure fast. Tasks, phases, dependencies, effort, no desktop install.

02

Baseline

Lock the agreed plan as a baseline so you can always show what you committed to.

03

Track

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

04

Reschedule

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

05

Report

Progress and milestones flow into status reports. No rebuilding the deck each week.

Track: plan vs actual

Know where you really stand, not where the plan said you would be

Assign effort, capture progress, and baseline from day one. The moment actuals pull away from the plan, 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.

  • Assign effort hours and compare them against the actual time reported
  • Baseline the schedule, then see deviation against it on every task and phase
  • Watch planned against actual progress live, no waiting for the next meeting

Date change impact, CRM Replacement Programme

Solution design moved 3 days. Everything downstream on the critical path shifts with it. Your approved end date holds until you raise a change request.

Reschedule: cause and effect

One task slips. See what moves before you commit to anything

Link tasks with finish-to-start, start-to-start, and finish-to-finish logic, 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 without rebuilding the plan by hand.

  • The critical path is highlighted right in the Gantt, one click to find it
  • Date changes cascade through dependent tasks and recalculate instantly
  • Drag-and-drop rescheduling, with multiple restore points in schedule history
  • The approved end date changes only when a change request says so
Report: no deck rebuild

The milestones that matter, already in your status report

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

  • Custom milestones visible across Gantt, Calendar, and Timeline views
  • Milestone status reflects the completion of the tasks that feed it
  • Status is always 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

The same plan, shown the way each person needs to see it

You live in the Gantt. Your developers want a board, your sponsor wants a timeline, your team wants this week. It is one set of schedule data, shown in every view, so nobody is reading a copy that is already out of date.

Executive timeline

A clean roll-up of phases and milestones for sponsors and the steering committee.

Coming from MS Project

Keep the scheduling power. Lose the desktop.

If your team plans in MS Project, you already know the cost: a desktop licence, files that live on one machine, and nobody else able to see the plan. Completix runs the same scheduling discipline in the browser, connected to the rest of your project.
