Know the most important tasks

The critical path shows those tasks that must be completed on time. It is the longest chain of tasks between the start and end dates of your project that cannot be compromised.
With the critical path, you:
  • Know what sequence of tasks requires special attention.
  • Know how much it takes to complete your project on time.

GanttPRO saves time on writing offers to our customer. It really makes it easier to set up the project on a high logic level. Some clients just have a look at the project plan once and say: “Yeah, ok!” and let us fully take care of it without any coordination from their side.
