Critical path to the delivery milestone
Identify the sequence of dependent work that determines the forecast date. When a duration or dependency changes, recalculate the schedule and see whether the driving path changes.
Critical path software for project delivery
Know what drives the delivery date
Model the dependencies behind the delivery plan. FlexiGantt calculates the schedule, critical path, float, and the effect on key milestones.

Float and deadline buffer
Review free float and total float across the schedule. For committed milestones, compare the current forecast with the deadline and see how much buffer remains.
Know when the forecast is based on stale progress
FlexiGantt flags incomplete tasks whose planned dates have passed and identifies downstream milestones whose forecasts depend on that stale information.
Evaluate schedule changes separately
Use a what-if scenario to change dates, durations, or dependencies and compare the resulting schedule with the current plan before applying the change.
From schedule to milestone
Understand the path behind the date
Work from the dependency network to critical path and float, then review the resulting forecast against committed milestones.
