Platform › Plan and Gantt

A plan that shows what is holding up go-live

A Gantt chart shows dates. What a PM needs to see is which activities sit on the go-live path, how much slack is left and what has moved since the plan was agreed. Senshin's plan shows all of that on the same record as the risks and the money.

Senshin Gantt view with the go-live path, slack, slipped activities and the agreed plan shown behind — The plan on the AWS Cloud Migration sample, with the go-live path and the agreed plan behind it. Sample data, not a real customer.

One plan, the views you already use

Gantt, outline, board, sprints and plan on a page all read the same activities. Projects can be set up as waterfall, agile or hybrid.

Dependencies and a critical path that keeps up

Activities are linked finish-to-start, start-to-start, finish-to-finish or start-to-finish, with lag where you need it. Change an activity's dates and the activities that depend on it move with it, so the links hold.

Senshin works out the critical path and the float on every activity again from those links each time the plan loads. Change a date, a duration or a link and the go-live path follows.

The agreed plan stays visible

Capture a baseline when the plan is agreed. Baselines are never overwritten, so today's bars always sit against what was promised, and you can compare any two.

Senshin's read sits beside the chart: how many activities are past their finish date, how many are on the go-live path and how tight the slack is.

Frequently asked questions

Can I import a Microsoft Project file?

Yes. Senshin reads .mpp files, as well as Excel, CSV and Jira or Asana exports.

Does Senshin show the critical path?

Yes. Activities on the go-live path are marked, with the slack left on each.

Does the critical path update when the plan changes?

Yes. It is worked out again from the dependencies each time the plan loads, so a new date, duration or link shows up straight away.

Can I change many activities at once?

Not in one step today. You change one activity at a time, and the activities that depend on it move with it, so no link is broken. To bring in a lot of activities at once, import the plan from Microsoft Project, Excel or CSV.

Does it support waterfall and agile projects?

Yes. Each project is set up as waterfall, agile or hybrid, and you can change it later. Agile and hybrid projects have sprints and a board alongside the Gantt.
