Timeline + dependency risk flags.
Milestone & Dependency Tracker
A clean milestone timeline paired with a dependency list that flags what’s blocked or at risk — and links each dependency to the milestone it could sink.
What Milestone & Dependency Tracker does
Milestone timeline
A readable timeline of the dates that matter, with RAG status on each milestone.
Dependency risk flags
Blocked and at-risk dependencies light up before they slip a date.
Dependency → milestone links
See exactly which milestone a late dependency puts in jeopardy, with cascade flags.
Excel export
Download the timeline and dependency list as a formatted .xlsx.
Use it for
- ✓ Tracking critical dates across a program
- ✓ Surfacing cross-team dependency risk early
- ✓ A milestone view for a status pack or steerco deck
Questions
How is this different from a Gantt chart?
It’s lighter and reporting-focused: milestones and dependency risk for upward reporting, not a full scheduling engine. It pairs with — rather than replaces — your planning tool.
Can I export the tracker?
Yes. The milestone timeline and dependency list export to a formatted Excel file.
