From blank page to logic-linked draft.
Describe the project in plain language — attach documents if you have them — and the AI Schedule Builder drafts a fully logic-linked, DCMA-clean CPM schedule you review, refine and export to Primavera P6 or Microsoft Project. The AI proposes scope, sequence, durations and resources; ScheduleSignal’s calendar-aware CPM engine computes every date.
Available as an add-on to ScheduleSignal · AI-drafted, planner-verified · Works alongside Primavera P6 and Microsoft Project
Six steps. You approve every one that matters.
Describe the project
Scope, key milestones, constraints, contract dates. Attach Word, Excel or PDF documents — or point at an existing schedule to model the style after: its calendars, resource roles, milestones and naming conventions, never its content.
It asks first
A few clarifying questions before anything is built — the way a real planner would start.
Review the outline
WBS phases and sections, milestones and calendars — edit anything. This step is free; nothing is charged until you confirm.
Generate
The full schedule builds in the background, one work-breakdown branch at a time — the project card shows live progress.
Review & refine
A staged editor for the work breakdown, resources, dates, and assumptions & risks — plus built-in chat to revise it (“add a commissioning phase”, “compress procurement”) with a plain-English summary of what changed.
Export & analyse
Primavera P6 XER or Microsoft Project XML — then run it through DCMA-14, Signal Score, Gantt, What-If and Earned Value like any imported schedule.
A proper CPM schedule, not a task list.
Plain-language and document-driven
Reads Word, Excel and PDF — scopes, milestone lists, contract dates.
Model after an existing schedule
Adopts its calendars, resource roles, milestones and naming style — never its content.
Multi-calendar CPM
5, 6 and 7-day weeks, per-phase calendars — scheduled by the same engine that analyses your imports.
DCMA-clean by construction
A lean critical path, Finish-to-Start logic, no hard date constraints — with a Signal Score on every draft.
Three ways to resource it
High-level crew per phase · AI-detailed (labour, equipment and materials assigned by scope) · custom (bring your own resource library) — all costed with editable rates, feeding budget and Earned Value.
Summary to detailed
Scales from a ~50-activity summary to a ~600-activity detailed programme.
Real exports
Primavera P6 XER and Microsoft Project XML (opens natively) — everything stays fully editable.
Straight into analysis
Every draft lands in ScheduleSignal — DCMA-14, Gantt, What-If, Earned Value — like any imported file.
