Project Summary

A project management / task scheduling app that gives reliable predictions for projects. Based on the idea of

Evidence-Based Scheduling

With this app I'm trying to solve a problem that plagues all engineers, which is estimating time for projects. When starting a project and predicting timelines, our estimates are often “bad” and this scheduler will turn those into an accurate prediction using a custom written algorithm.

Requirements

A simple visualization of the tasks' dependencies on each other

A clear prediction and visualization of the confidence of project predictions

An easy user interface for managing the project

A way for it to be highly distributable and automatable, especially by software engineering teams

Keeping the data model extremely simple and extendable

Tech Stack

I have built this website from the ground up, using a powerful tech stack. I use:

Svelte for the front-end

Typescript for the calculations

D3.js for the visuals

In this project I have also opted to forgo having a server, since it would add unneeded complexity for an app with text output.
