For linear projects with repetative tasks (eg roads, sewers, rail, tunnels, bridges etc), time chainage charts are a better way of showing a plan and actual progress than bar charts.
I would like to use this thread to discuss the use of time chainage charts and what features people would like to see on a software package. Existing commercial time chainage software is very limited so I have written my own. It is very good but will it do what you want? Lets find out!
As a starter, my software will allow input of tasks like any project management software and calculate start and end dates based on logic links and constraint dates. However, you input start and end chainages and progress rates for the software to calculate durations. Thus this is also a planning tool. Actual progress can be entered on a daily (or any other period) basis and full history is kept.
There are many formatting options for viewing and printing the chart.
Is there any interest or comments?
