Forecast 26 Aug · baseline 22 Aug
The plan, the hours and the invoice, on one record.
Project plans with real dependencies and baselines, resource capacity you can commit against, timesheets that reach billing, and a status report assembled from what actually happened. Implementation, rollout, construction, campaign or client delivery: the same discipline.
Baseline v3 · contract v7 · team calendars
Margin remains illustrative and visible.
No plan, booking or milestone changed.
The delivery record carries the promise, the hours and the invoice consequence.
PR-038 is not a task list. It is a baseline, dependency graph, capacity commitment, margin view and named decision trail that finance and delivery can both read.
Commit what delivery means.
The saved plan keeps dates, dependencies and scope visible after the schedule changes.
Read progress from work.
Tasks, effort, blockers and approvals build status without a weekly reconstruction.
Model the cross-project trade.
BL-219 reaches MS-21, capacity and margin before a recovery path is proposed.
Retain the delivery commitment.
Kavya validates the evidence; Rohan decides the capacity move and its consequence.
What changes
Move from status assembly to evidence-backed recovery.
Task tools are cheap and everywhere. What they do not do is connect the plan to capacity, to cost and to the invoice, which is where projects are actually lost.
Planning
Boards and lists, with dates as decoration.
Work breakdown with real dependencies, critical path and a saved baseline, so slippage is measured against what you committed, not what you last edited.
Resourcing
Assignment by name, and hope about capacity.
Capacity by skill, role and calendar, with soft booking during pursuit and firm allocation on award: over-allocation is refused at the point of assignment.
Time & effort
A timesheet nobody fills, approved by nobody.
Time captured against the task on web and mobile, approved by the delivery lead, and carried straight into billing, utilisation and project cost.
Risks & issues
A RAID log, updated before the steering committee.
The risk-watch agent reads slippage, open dependencies and burn rate daily and raises the risk with the date it will become a delay.
Billing
A milestone spreadsheet, re-keyed into invoicing.
Fixed-fee milestones, time-and-material and retainer models compute from approved effort and trigger the invoice on the same record.
Status reporting
A deck built the night before the call.
The status brief is assembled from the record: progress, spend, risks, decisions pending, and the project manager edits rather than writes it.
Read the dependency, capacity and margin trade-off in one room.
The recovery brief is evidence-cited, but Kavya validates the path and Rohan retains the cross-project commitment.

One critical-path decision at the scale of the authority it carries.
Rohan sees the record, delay, evidence, downstream consequence, prepared route and named action without opening a miniature dashboard.

What delivery gets.
Project templates carry your methodology: stage gates, deliverable types, approval points, so the second project starts from the first. Plan, capacity, cost, evidence and client approval remain joined to the commitment.

roll-up · health · marginA slipping dependency that raises the risk before the review.
A prepared recovery is not a revised baseline. The delivery lead validates evidence; the director records the cross-project commitment.
“which projects will breach their baseline this month and which dependency causes it”
Three agents on delivery. The commitment stays the lead's.
Agents assemble plans, surface dated risks and prepare status. The commitment remains with the lead and delivery authority.

A 90-minute working session: your project template, stage gates and billing model drafted as an FRS, approved, and generated to a staging tenant with a real plan loaded.
Projects are meta on the platform: the same customer and employee records, durable execution behind every stage gate, and timesheet approvals attributable down to the policy version that priced them.
