Who it's for
For builders who keep the schedule in their head
If your schedule is a whiteboard, a wall calendar or a memory, this is for you. One late task pushes the next one, and keeping every date straight by hand is where things slip.
Here you enter how many workdays a task takes and which task it waits on. The dates work themselves out. Weekends and your holidays get skipped, and the Gantt bars draw themselves.
Sample jobs are already filled in, so you can see how it works before you add your own.
