project-planning-tracking

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides structured methods and templates to plan project phases, track milestones, manage tasks, and monitor progress within a document-tree oriented workspace. The result is repeatable, auditable planning that reduces scope creep and miscommunication across teams.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Project Phases & Milestones: Create, align, and monitor phases and milestones within a document-tree structure.
• Task Tracking & Templates: Use work-breakdown structures (WBS) and standardized task templates to report progress consistently.
• PERT & Critical Path: Include PERT diagram templates and critical-path analysis to forecast timelines and identify bottlenecks.
• Dynamic Updates: Support forward/backward pass calculations and progress recalibration as work unfolds.
• Use Case: Plan a multi-team product launch with phase gates, cross-team dependencies, and weekly status reports.

Quick Start

Start by initializing the project planning folder structure (requirements, artifacts, planning) and drop in templates for milestones, tasks, and health dashboards. Then add your project data (phases, tasks, durations) to generate the PERT diagram and baseline schedule.
