To create a realistic delivery roadmap, provide a task list with defined dependencies and known team composition. The system applies critical path analysis and capacity planning to generate date-bound schedules with risk analysis and contingency buffers.

Critical path analysis identifies the longest dependency chains in a project to reveal the true minimum project duration. It maps task sequences to show which task delays will directly impact the final delivery date.

Calculate contingency buffers by applying capacity planning and risk assessment to your task list. The system flags bottlenecks along the critical path and computes time buffers to absorb potential delays.

Yes, a known team composition is required. The system uses team capacity and cadence details to group work by sprint or cycle, assigning accurate start and end dates to generate a valid delivery schedule.

Gate 9 is applied to Full Track projects, while Gate 4 is used for Small Track projects. Both tracks validate the delivery roadmap using the same dependency graph and risk analysis criteria.

Avoid automated critical path analysis if your project lacks defined task dependencies or if team capacity is unknown. The roadmap generation requires structured dependency inputs to accurately compute period boundaries and buffers.
