Software Launch — Critical Path, Float and Resources
The reference plan, reported clean. Four teams, a working calendar with two public holidays, a milestone, a board deadline and a today marker. Every bar is derived from the durations and dependencies — nothing here is placed by hand — and the trailing whisker on each bar is its total float, which is the number no other text-driven Gantt tool can show you.
