Critical path scheduling
Works out the longest chain of dependent tasks that sets the finish date.
Project
OpenPlan
Critical path scheduling, Gantt charts, resources and baselines, written in Rust. It is an early prototype and not yet available to download.
In development

Overview
Planning tools used on engineering projects are expensive and closed. OpenPlan aims to give small teams and independents a scheduling engine they can inspect and trust.
Where it stands. Prototype that runs from source only. There is no installer yet and the name is under review, so the rewrite comes before any release.
| Prototype | Python and PySide6 desktop app, runs from source |
|---|---|
| Features | Critical path, Gantt, resources, baselines |
| Next | Rust rewrite and a final name |
| Tests | 138 in the prototype, to be ported first |
| Licence | GPL-3.0-or-later |
| Formerly | Coconut |
What the prototype does today
Gantt charts
See the schedule laid out over time, with dependencies.
Resources and baselines
Assign resources, and save a baseline to compare progress against.
How it will be built
The Python prototype becomes the reference implementation. Its 138 tests are the most valuable thing to carry over and are ported first as the specification for the Rust rewrite.
Source
There is no installer yet. A public repository will be linked here once the rewrite is under way and the name is settled.
