One page that knows where the team project stands. The schedule below is not typed in: every render runs a critical path method over data/activities.csv (early and late dates, total float, the zero-float chain) with today as the status date, so the numbers move as the CSV changes.

What we are building

Smart Urban Living

A Smart Urban Apartment Package: a configurable set of smart-home technologies and technology-enabled amenities for modern multifamily rentals. A choice-based conjoint among U.S. renters tells a developer which features to install and what monthly premium they carry. The project page has the attributes, the research questions, the market and the decision log.

The next four weeks

Open activities with a computed early start inside the window. Solid is done, the hatched tint is what remains, a diamond is an official deadline, the red edge marks zero float. Hover any row for the early and late dates; click a row to light up everything it depends on and everything waiting on it.

On the zero-float chain right now

If any of these slip by a day, the deliverable behind them slips by a day. The critical path page shows the whole chain.

Deliverable chain

Each box is an official deadline. The label on the arrow is the smallest float left in the work feeding that deadline; red means none.

Due next

Every dated item in the next stretch, from the course calendar. Project deliverables are the ones this site exists for; homework and quizzes are shown because they compete for the same weeks.
