What insights does SmartPM's Web-based Gantt Chart provide?

SmartPM’s Web based Gantt Chart provides a dynamic view of your project’s timelines, allowing you to create a visual representation of historical and projected progress as well as detailed aspects such as delays, accelerations, and critical path activities. With its infinite scaling ability, you can drill down from day to quarterly views, examining the specifics of each activity, including their impact on project phases and the underlying logic of delays.

Can you filter for specific activities?

SmartPM’s filtering functions allow you to customize which project activities are displayed based on specific attributes on the Gantt. You can use built-in filters or create custom ones to focus on activities that have caused delays or acceleration, track progress made or missed, and even pinpoint activities on your actual historical-critical or near-critical paths.

Can I track the critical path and project acceleration directly in the Gantt Chart?

Yes, SmartPM’s Gantt Chart allows you to directly track and analyze the critical path and any project accelerations. It provides visual indicators of the project’s progress, showing which activities are on the critical path, which are near-critical, and how changes in these paths impact the overall project schedule. This real-time insight is crucial for adjusting strategies and managing project timelines proactively.

Who has access to the Gantt Chart?

We know across-the-board visibility is what truly drives success. That’s why every project benefits from unlimited users per project, so your team members can operate from a single source of truth.
