Every capability your PMO needs
Depentra brings roadmap, dependencies, simulation, resources, risks, and budget into one tracker built for delivery reality.
Interactive Gantt chart
Zoom from days to years, drag to reschedule with the knock-on shown before you apply it, baseline overlays, milestone diamonds, and a live today line.
Dependency impact matrix
Every task scored by cascade risk: CRITICAL, MODERATE, or ISOLATED. Full transitive chains calculated across the complete dependency network with recommended actions.
Delay simulator
Model hypothetical delays across multiple tasks without touching live data. Gantt, matrix, and every task's float update in real time. Commit only when you decide.
Total float and slip
Total float per task and propagated delay with revised dates, recalculated whenever any date, dependency, or delay changes. A property you can add, filter, and export like any other.
Resource management
A resource directory with hours and cost rates, a workload view that flags over-allocation, capacity across projects, and working calendars.
Budget and earned value
Planned versus actual cost with CPI, EAC, ETC, and VAC rolled up through the hierarchy, caps and contingency, an approval queue for large changes, and every cost change in the history.
Risk register
Probability-impact scoring, a heat map, cost impact tracking, and automatic escalation when linked tasks are delayed.
Template library
Forty-five templates across project delivery, PMO, marketing, sales, finance, legal, HR, operations, technology, resources, procurement and strategy, each installing views, fields, a workflow, milestones, dependencies and a dashboard.
Deep colour customisation
Colour rules on the table, board and timeline, a colour per group, and status colours you define for each project.
The Gantt chart that keeps up with you
Zoom from days to weeks, months, quarters and years without losing your place. Drag bars to reschedule and edges to resize; when a move would push other tasks, you see which ones and by how much, and choose Apply or Cancel. Milestones render as diamonds, baselines overlay below the live schedule, actual dates run as a thin line under each bar once the Actual timeline property is on, and a vertical today line keeps everyone honest. The task column stays put while you scroll a two-year timeline, and on a phone the chart becomes a schedule list: late, today, this week, later.
Impact analysis that names names
The Dependency Impact Matrix lists every task with its full transitive downstream chain. Cascade risk is scored automatically: CRITICAL for three or more downstream tasks, MODERATE for one or two, ISOLATED for none, each with a recommended action. Apply a delay and every affected row highlights instantly, with a propagated delay column showing exactly how many days each downstream task moves and which root cause pushed it.
Simulate delays without touching live data
The Delay Simulator is a safe sandbox. Enter hypothetical delays against one task or twenty, and the Gantt, Impact Matrix, and every task's float update in real time behind a clear simulation banner. Compound scenarios follow real scheduling logic: when multiple upstream delays converge on one task, it inherits the maximum, not the sum. Reset with one click, or commit only when the decision is made.
Float, always current
Depentra recalculates total float for every task whenever any date, duration, dependency, or delay changes, carrying lead and lag time through both the forward and backward pass. Add the Float property to see how many days each task can slip before the end date moves, filter it to zero to list the tasks that cannot, and watch the roadmap end date on the dashboard.
Resources, effort, and working calendars
Keep a resource directory with roles, hours per day and cost rates, and assign people to tasks. The Workload view shows each person's hours this week against what they have, and flags who is over-allocated; Programs shows capacity across projects week by week. Working calendars with non-working days and holidays keep durations honest in working days.
Budget with real earned value
Track planned and actual cost per task with automatic rollups, budget caps, contingency reserves, and an approval queue for large changes. CPI, EAC, ETC, and VAC are computed continuously and badged On Budget, At Risk, or Over Budget. Every change to a task's planned or actual cost is recorded in the project's change history, with who made it and when, and can be restored.
Go deeper
The four capabilities most teams arrive looking for, explained in full.
Dependency Management
Link tasks with all four dependency types and lead or lag, see what every task affects downstream, and track dependencies across projects. Free to start.
Dependency Impact Matrix
See the full transitive downstream chain for every task, scored by cascade risk. Know what a slip actually affects before you accept it.
Delay Simulator
Model a hypothetical delay across your whole roadmap without touching the live plan. See the cascade, the moved milestones, and the new end date before you commit.
Total Float and Slip
Total float for every task, recalculated whenever a date, duration, dependency, or delay changes, as a property you can add, filter and sort like any other.
Gantt Chart
A Gantt chart with real dependency links, propagated delay bars, actual against planned, milestones, and a live today line.
