Quick Start

This guide assumes you have already completed the Installation step and have the Lineo-PM stack running locally. Open the frontend at http://localhost:5173 to follow along.

1. Create Your First Project

On the home screen, click the Create Project button in the top bar.

Fill in the project details:

  • Name — a descriptive name (e.g., “Product v2 Launch”)
  • Start date — the planned start of the project
  • End date — the target delivery date

Click Save to create the project. You will be taken to the project’s Gantt view.

2. Add Milestones

Milestones mark key delivery points in your schedule. From the project view, open the milestone panel and click Add Milestone.

Give each milestone a name and a target date. Milestones appear as markers on the Gantt chart.

3. Add Tasks

Click Add Task to create your first activity.

For each task, specify:

  • Name — what needs to be done
  • Start date and end date (or duration)
  • Risk level — the uncertainty factor for this task (used in Monte Carlo simulation)

Add as many tasks as needed to represent your project’s work breakdown.

4. Set Dependencies

To define that one task must complete before another can start, use the Relations panel or drag a connector between tasks on the Gantt chart.

Lineo supports standard finish-to-start dependencies. Once a dependency is set, moving the predecessor task will automatically shift the successor.

5. Drag Tasks to Reschedule

Here is where Lineo-PM shows its value. Click and drag any task bar on the Gantt chart to move it to a new date.

Watch what happens:

  • Every task that depends on the moved task cascades forward (or backward) automatically
  • Tasks on the critical chain are highlighted
  • The projected project end date updates in real time

No manual re-planning. No stale data. The plan reflects reality as soon as you make a change.

6. Explore Further

Now that you have a working project, try the advanced features:

  • Scenario Planning — model “what if?” alternatives without touching your baseline
  • Risk Analysis — run a Monte Carlo simulation to quantify delivery risk
