Gantt-CPM View in Tactplan

Tactplan is designed around the principles of location-based scheduling and Lean construction. While the Gantt chart shows your project in a time-based, horizontal format, the underlying data is fully connected to your takt and location structure. That means:

• Activities are automatically grouped and sequenced by location
• Repetitive work is aligned with takt intervals
• The logic driving the schedule reflects how work actually flows across the site
• The Gantt view updates dynamically as the takt plan changes

So, while you view your project in the classic Gantt format, you’re interacting with a much smarter, more production-focused system behind the scenes.

On many construction projects, teams use different planning tools and have different preferences. Some prefer line-of-balance or takt-based flowlines. Others are more comfortable working in Gantt charts. Tactplan supports this diversity.

Our Gantt view acts as common ground. It gives Gantt users a way to navigate the schedule comfortably — while ensuring the project stays coordinated through the more robust takt structure.

This is especially useful in:

• Collaborative projects where multiple disciplines need access to the schedule
• Client-facing reviews where Gantt is expected
• Transition periods where teams are learning takt planning‍
• Projects with tight deadlines, where fast iteration between Gantt and location-based views can improve decision-making

While the traditional CPM approach focuses on task duration and dependencies, Tactplan adds another layer: location. This enables you to see not only what is critical, but also where bottlenecks may occur on-site.

For example:

• See how a delay in one floor section might cascade through subsequent trades
• Spot risks of overlapping work in the same zone
• Align resources across locations without crowding the schedule

The Gantt view, enriched with this spatial awareness, becomes a more effective tool for coordination and decision-making.

Tactplan’s Gantt-CPM view is not just a static chart — it’s interactive and fully integrated with your project data. You can:

• Add, edit, or move tasks directly
• View progress updates from site teams
• Compare planned vs. actual sequences
• Navigate between Gantt, takt, and flowline views instantly

It helps you plan with confidence, communicate clearly with your team, and stay responsive when changes occur.
