What are you scheduling?
Why Sketchdule exists
I've spent more than three decades in project controls. Key stakeholders always wanted the same thing — a summary schedule they could actually read and decide from. The powerful desktop tools treated presentation as an afterthought. The purpose-built alternative? A world of its own — bespoke menus, its own commands, weeks of relearning before you draw a single bar. I wanted none of that. I wanted a tool my team could pick up on day one, because it works like the Office suite we already live in — and turns out steering-committee-ready presentation summary schedules in no time. So I built it. I use it on my own programmes, and I can vouch for it.

One schedule, every seat at the table
The same file works for the person who builds it, the office that tracks it, and the room it's presented in.
Schedule-grade power
Everything a board-ready programme needs, spelled out — and every one of these runs locally, in your browser.
Columns & indicators
Add columns of text, dates and values, compute across them — colA − colB, thresholds, chained formulas — and surface the result as RAG stoplights, %-complete pies or status symbols.
| Activity | % | CPI | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Foundations | 1.04 | ||
| Superstructure | 0.92 | ||
| M&E Fit-out | 0.81 | ||
| Commissioning | — |
Conditional symbols
Make a symbol change shape or colour the moment a column says “Late” or a date slips — flagship data-driven symbology, computed locally as you type.
Cost & Earned Value
Enter or import costs for Earned Value — planned, earned and actual, with CPI and SPI — while Datagraphs and ValueSets plot cost, manhours or resources over time.
Import & refresh
Bring in Microsoft Project (XML), Primavera P6 (XER/XML), Excel and CSV — spreadsheets map columns your way. When dates move, Refresh re-syncs from the source and highlights exactly what changed.
Wherever programmes get reported
Start from a ready example, or a blank page — every example opens in your browser and stays on your device.
Phased works, look-ahead programmes, contractor roll-ups and board packs.
Release plans, sprint-to-roadmap views and stage-gate milestone reports.
Trial timelines, submission milestones and regulatory key-date schedules.
Master schedules merged from many plans, with RAG and earned value.
Mission schedules, fiscal-year timescales and milestone life-lines.
Countdown plans, run-of-show and one-page executive timelines.
Live collaboration
Invite the team into a live session and edit the same schedule together — everyone's cursor maps to the same task and date, over an end-to-end-encrypted channel. Your data never touches a server.
