DemoRiverside is invented. Every figure on screen is computed by the real engines from fixture data, so the numbers are honest about the fixtures and the fixtures are not real.

The most recent close. This is the view everything else is compared against. Pick an earlier moment to see what the numbers said then.

Negative float
1 item cannot make the imposed finish

These have less time available than they need. The schedule shows the shortfall rather than quietly relaxing the constraint.

Solid

The schedule as the critical path method computes it. Nothing on this timeline moves by accident.

How to read this timeline
A solid bar
The working days an item is scheduled to occupy, from its earliest start to its earliest finish.
An outlined bar
A rollup. Its span is the span of everything nested beneath it, not work of its own.
A diamond, marking a milestone
A dated marker with no duration, no effort and no cost. It either happened on its date or it did not.
Marked critical
The chain of work with no spare days, shown by a dashed leading edge and by the word critical in the label. A day lost anywhere on it is a day lost on the finish date.
The vertical rust line
Today. Bars finishing to its left should be done.
Float
Spare working days an item can slip before it moves the project finish. Zero float means it is on the critical path.
Negative float
Less time available than the work needs to meet an imposed finish. The shortfall is shown in working days rather than quietly absorbed by relaxing the constraint.
