SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Convert a dependency-tagged matter plan into a visual timeline and critical path, enabling legal teams to see what must finish on time and how delays cascade through the programme.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Build a dependency network from the matter plan and calculate the critical path.
  • Produce an interactive Gantt diagram and timeline views for client updates and internal planning.
  • Run what-if cascade analyses to model delay impacts, draft client communications, and support jurisdiction- or workstream-specific views.
  • Support versioning, cross-skill handoffs, and filtering by workstream or jurisdiction for targeted updates.

Quick Start

Provide a matter plan export (CSV or pasted table) to the timeline-generator and run the Baseline build to generate the Gantt diagram and CP analysis.

Frequently Asked Questions about timeline-generator-scott-margetts

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate a Gantt chart and critical path from a matter plan?▼

To generate a Gantt chart and critical path, provide a dependency-tagged matter plan as a CSV or pasted table, then run a baseline build to calculate ES/EF/LS/LF/float and visualize the timeline.

Can I model delay impacts and run what-if cascade analyses on a legal timeline?▼

Yes, you can run what-if cascade analyses on the legal timeline to model delay impacts, compute float changes, and generate targeted views filtered by specific workstream or jurisdiction.

What dependency relationships and scheduling constraints does critical path analysis support?▼

Critical path analysis supports FS, SS, and FF dependency relationships with lag, alongside forward and back scheduling from fixed deadlines to compute accurate ES/EF/LS/LF/float values.

How do I filter a programme timeline by workstream or jurisdiction for client updates?▼

To filter a programme timeline by workstream or jurisdiction for client updates, apply the timeline generator's filtering views to isolate specific dependencies and produce targeted communications.

Do I need a structured matter-plan-builder CSV export to create a visual timeline?▼

Yes, the timeline generator consumes structured output from matter-plan-builder, requiring a CSV or pasted table with dependency tags to build the network and calculate the critical path.

What is the best way to calculate float and identify critical tasks in a legal programme?▼

The best way to calculate float and identify critical tasks is converting a dependency-tagged matter plan into a visual timeline, computing ES/EF/LS/LF/float to highlight cascade risks.
