Build, Schedule, Analyze: The Full Cycle in Your Browser

No desktop software. No $2,500 license. No manual reporting. From blank schedule to shareable executive report in one session — powered by AI that no other scheduling tool has.

Category: Feature Guide  |  Read Time: 10 min  |  Updated: April 2026  |  Author: Nahla AI Team

Planning engineers have always worked across multiple tools. Build the schedule in Primavera P6 or MS Project. Export to Excel for reporting. Copy charts into PowerPoint for executives. Manually calculate variance. Reformat for stakeholders.

That workflow hasn't changed in 20 years. Until now.

Nahla Project isn't just another browser scheduler. It's the first scheduling tool where AI doesn't just analyze your schedule — it builds it, fixes it, and warns you before things go wrong.

1. Build Your Schedule

Open your browser. Go to project.nahla.ai. No installation, no license key.

Nahla Project — Gantt chart with WBS hierarchy and task grid
Interactive Gantt Chart — Drag to resize task durations, click to link dependencies visually with FS/SS/FF/SF selection popup.
WBS Hierarchy — Organize work into structured phases with expand/collapse, indent/outdent.
All 4 Dependency Types — FS, SS, FF, SF with lag/lead support.
Resource Management — Drag-and-drop labor, equipment, and materials from a built-in library.
Budget, Selling & Actual Cost — Track cost and revenue per task, see margin per WBS phase.
Calendar Hub — Configure working days, holidays, and hours per day.
Baseline & Diff View — Save schedule snapshot. Color-coded bars show delays (red) and advances (green) with +5d / -3d badges on each task.
Constraints — ASAP, ALAP, Must Start On, Must Finish On, Start No Earlier Than, Finish No Later Than.

This isn't a simplified task list. It's a full CPM scheduler with features that go far beyond what Primavera and MS Project offer.

What Makes Nahla Project Different

Every scheduler has Gantt charts, dependencies, and CPM. Here's what only Nahla has:

AI Schedule Generator AI

AI Schedule Generator — describe your project in plain English

Describe your project in plain English — "Create a construction schedule for a 5-bedroom house" — and Nahla generates the entire schedule: WBS hierarchy, 20+ tasks, dependencies, resources, and assignments. In seconds.

No other scheduling tool does this.

AI Chat Assistant AI

AI Chat Assistant — talk to your schedule in natural language

Talk to your schedule in natural language:

The AI understands scheduling concepts: constraints, dependencies, critical path, float, resources. It's not a chatbot — it's a scheduling co-pilot.

Actionable AI Insights with Fix Now AI

AI Insights with Fix Now button

Most tools show you what's wrong. Nahla fixes it.

The AI Insights panel detects issues — missing dependencies, overallocated resources, critical tasks without resources — and each alert has a "Fix Now" button. One click, and the AI resolves the issue with the right solution.

Scope Completeness Checker AI

Scope Completeness Checker

Click "Scope Check" and Nahla compares your schedule against industry templates learned from thousands of schedules (Schedule DNA). It tells you what's missing: "Your construction schedule is missing inspection tasks, commissioning, and handover."

Each missing item has an "Add" button that creates the task with the right duration, WBS, and predecessors.

Schedule DNA — AI That Learns AI

Every time you set a baseline, Nahla extracts patterns: task names, typical durations, common predecessors, required resources. These patterns feed back into the AI, making suggestions smarter with every project.

Start a new oil & gas project? Nahla already knows that "Pipeline Hydrotesting" typically takes 14 days with 2 welders. Because it learned from real schedules.

Time Impact Analysis — What-If Simulation

Time Impact Analysis — what-if simulation

The feature construction lawyers and delay experts use daily. Add a proposed delay event, modify a task duration, or remove a task — and see the CPM impact without saving anything.

"If I add a 10-day rain delay after Foundation, the project slips by 7 days and 4 tasks are affected."

Pure what-if simulation. The schedule doesn't change until you decide.

Live Edit Impact Popup

Proactive Impact Alerts

Change a task's duration and a popup instantly shows you exactly what it does downstream: how many tasks are affected, the maximum delay, and whether the critical path is impacted. With task names, dates, and severity color-coding.

You see the impact as it happens, not after the damage is done.

Dependency Flow Chart

Dependency Flow Chart

Click any dependency arrow on the Gantt and a visual flowchart opens showing 2 levels of predecessors and successors. The driving predecessor glows orange. Critical path tasks have a red indicator.

Click any arrow label to edit the relationship type (FS/SS/FF/SF) or lag. Add new predecessors or successors from a searchable dropdown. Visual dependency management — not spreadsheet-style lists.

X-Ray Vision

Click the X-Ray button, then click any task bar. The entire dependency chain lights up: blue for the source task, orange for predecessors, green for successors. Everything else fades to 15% opacity.

Instantly see what drives a task and what it drives. No tracing arrows manually.

2. Run CPM — Critical Path in One Click

Run CPM — critical path calculation

Click "Run CPM" and the scheduling engine calculates:

The same calculation that P6 runs internally, now running in your browser.

3. AI Schedule Health Check

AI Schedule Health Check

Before you leave, 14+ automated health checks scan your schedule for:

Each issue has a "Fix Now" button. A score from 0–100 with a letter grade tells you instantly how healthy your schedule is.

4. One Click to Nahla AI

Click "Dashboard" or "AI Analysis" in the toolbar. Your schedule opens in Nahla AI — the same platform that analyzes Primavera P6 and MS Project uploads.

No re-entry. No file conversion. No export/import. The data flows directly.

Already have a P6 or Excel schedule? Skip the scheduler — just upload your file at nahla.ai and jump straight to the dashboard.

5. Instant Dashboard

Nahla AI Dashboard

Nahla AI generates a full project dashboard in under 60 seconds:

Earned Value S-Curve — PV, EV, AC lines with CPI/SPI indices
Project Progress — Planned vs actual with forecast projection
Budget Overview — BAC vs EAC with variance waterfall
Critical Path Table — Critical tasks with float analysis
Schedule Health — Traffic light status with risk scoring
Manpower Histogram — Stacked bars per trade + planned vs actual S-curve

If your schedule has selling costs, you also get margin analysis per WBS phase, profit at completion, and a three-line S-curve.

6. Ask AI Anything

Nahla AI Analysis page

Open the Analysis page and ask questions in plain English:

Nahla AI answers with charts, tables, and written analysis based on your actual schedule data. Pin any chart and ask follow-up questions about it.

7. Generate Executive Report

Executive Report generation

Click "Generate Executive Report" and get a 2–3 page report for directors and stakeholders:

No PowerPoint. No copy-pasting. One click.

8. Share & Notify

Share schedule via link

Generate a shareable link — anyone with the link can view the interactive dashboard. No login required for viewers.

In Nahla Project, share filtered views with subcontractors — they see only their assigned tasks, dates, and progress.

Deadline Email Alerts

Deadline Email Alerts

Select tasks that need attention, add recipients (from your resource list or any email), write an optional message, and send professional HTML emails. Each email shows task names, due dates, urgency colors, and a link to the schedule.

Built-in project communication — no external email tool needed.

The Full Cycle

AI Generates Schedule → Run CPM → Health Check + Fix Now → Dashboard → AI Analysis → Executive Report → Share & Alert

The entire journey — from a one-sentence project description to shareable executive report — happens in one browser session. No P6 license. No Excel. No PowerPoint. No manual formulas.

Two products, one intelligence layer.
Nahla Project builds the schedule. Nahla AI analyzes it.
