Plan a quarter
in minutes.
Critpath is one live timeline for every team. Drag the dates, wire up the dependencies, and watch capacity break before the sprint does — not at the review.
Live Critpath timeline · week zoom · dependency-aware
Drag, don't re-enter
Move and resize work directly on the timeline. Snapping keeps everything on the grid.
Soft constraints
Warnings and guidance, never hard blockers. Overlap is allowed — and visible.
Capacity in the same view
Allocations, utilisation and over-allocation sit above the plan, not in another tool.
Every team, one board
Project-scoped roadmaps with their own areas, platforms and access list.
01 · The plan
The timeline is the interface.
Areas become swimlanes. Work items become bars you can grab. Related tracks group into a tinted band. Everything you need to re-plan is one drag away.
Grab a bar. Change the plan.
Drag to move, pull the edges to resize. Snapping follows the zoom level you're in.
Open it up. Edit everything.
A 440px drawer with fields, dependencies, allocations and the conflicts this item causes.

Allocations
02 · Dependencies
One chain decides the date.
Internal links draw as cubic-bezier connectors with arrowheads; external links carry a URL. Turn on auto-scheduling and moving one item cascades the downstream dates — with a ghost preview before you commit.
- Critical path highlighting — the driving chain gets its own ring so it never hides in the noise.
- Problem edges turn red — a violated dependency is visible on the board, not buried in a report.
- Manual or auto — cascade dates automatically, or keep the connectors purely visual.

03 · Capacity
Find the over-allocation on the way in.
Scrub to any date and the utilisation bar recalculates: who's on what, at what percentage, and who has nothing. Green means fully used. Red means you promised the same person twice.

04 · Insights
Conflicts, grouped by the person they'll hit.
Critpath detects resource over-allocation, scheduling collisions and dependency violations, then sorts them by severity and by resource — with a suggestion attached and a click straight to the item on the timeline.

Over-allocated 2–20 Feb
120% allocated across two work items in the same window.
💡 Drop the Analytics allocation to 50% or shift it past 20 Feb.
Dependency starts before upstream ends
ENG-4141 begins 4 days before ENG-4118 completes.
05 · Pathfinder
An assistant that reads the whole plan.
Pathfinder sits in the roadmap, not in a chat silo. It reviews the current dates, dependencies and allocations, flags what's about to break, compares the plan against Jira, and proposes the specific edit — which you accept or ignore.
Pathfinder
Reviewing 42 work items · 9 resources
Two things will bite you this sprint. Alex Moreau is at 120% from 2–20 Feb, and ENG-4141 starts before its upstream finishes — which puts the March ship date on the critical path.
