DraftDraft

Product

Every slip visible, and attributed.

Idle time is a named driver of overrun: trades standing down while an answer sits in someone's inbox. In Draft every day added to the schedule is a day someone chose, on the record, and the current finish date sits beside the original one on every screen.

One timeline, every job

Each job is a bar from its planned start to its current finish. An approved change that adds days extends the bar in amber, with the days it added at the end of the row. The dashed line is the planned finish; the amber line is where the project now ends.

The roof slipped seven days and the kitchen three, both by approved changes. Nothing else moved.

The position, top to bottom

Baseline, approved changes, forecast, pending, projected. The same spine appears on the overview, the report and the export, and every figure on it is computed from approved changes, never typed.

Forecast is baseline plus approved changes; projected adds what is still pending. Completion is where the last job now finishes.

The rule

An approved change moves the timeline; nothing else does.

Dates are never edited by hand. To move a finish, raise a change, price its days, and decide it. The schedule then shows who moved it and when.
