Build a project programme in minutes. Add phases and tasks with start and end dates and the tool draws a to-scale Gantt chart on a Forgepoint drawing sheet, choosing day, week or month columns automatically. Your programme is saved locally in your browser and nothing is uploaded.
What it gives you
- Phases with nested tasks and milestones
- Automatic day, week or month scaling to fit the sheet
- Title block with project name, number and revision
- Saved locally between visits
- SVG and PDF export for tender submissions and progress reports
Method and standards
The chart is drawn on a landscape sheet with the same title block used across the Forgepoint drawing tools. Dates are plotted to scale so durations compare visually. It is intended for engineering project programmes, tender submissions and progress reporting rather than resource-levelled scheduling.
How to use it
- Add a phase, then add tasks under it with start and end dates.
- Set the project name, number and revision in the title block.
- Download SVG or print to PDF. Your programme stays saved in this browser.
Questions engineers ask
- Is my programme stored on a server?
- No. It is kept in your browser's local storage only. Clearing site data removes it.
- Can I export to MS Project or Excel?
- Not at present. The tool produces a drawn programme (SVG or PDF) rather than a schedule file.
- Does it handle dependencies and critical path?
- No. It is a visual programme tool. For logic-linked schedules use a dedicated scheduling package.
