Every capability your PMO needs
Depentra brings roadmap, dependencies, simulation, resources, risks, and budget into one tracker built for delivery reality.
Interactive Gantt chart
Daily, weekly, and monthly timelines with drag-and-drop rescheduling, baseline overlays, milestone diamonds, and a live today line. Renders 600 tasks in under a second.
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
Workload views with over-allocation warnings, working calendars, cost rates, conflict detection, and levelling recommendations.
Budget and earned value
Planned versus actual cost with CPI, EAC, ETC, and VAC rolled up through the hierarchy. Approval workflows and a dedicated budget audit log.
Risk register
Probability-impact scoring, configurable heat map, cost impact tracking, and automatic escalation when linked tasks are delayed.
Template library
Nineteen pre-built templates including the Product Roadmap, Recruiting Pipeline, CRM-Lite, and IT Asset Inventory, with ready-made columns, views, and automations.
Deep colour customisation
Named themes, per-delivery-group colours, per-view colour panels, and WCAG 2.1 AA contrast checking built into every picker.
The Gantt chart that keeps up with you
Switch between daily, weekly, and monthly granularity without losing your place. Drag bars to reschedule, drag edges to resize, and confirm before anything saves. 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. Frozen name columns stay visible while you scroll a two-year timeline, and the whole chart renders 600 tasks in under a second.
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
Assign named resources to tasks with allocation percentages. The Resource Workload view flags over-allocation in configurable colours, warns at assignment time when someone is already at capacity, and suggests levelling adjustments. Working calendars with public holidays keep durations honest in working days, and time logs roll actual effort up through the hierarchy.
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. Burn-down charts, cost-by-resource breakdowns, and a dedicated budget audit log complete the picture.
Go deeper
The four capabilities most teams arrive looking for, explained in full.
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.
