Automated Gantt chart and timeline updates with progress reporting

Purpose

1. Automates the real-time creation, update, and tracking of Gantt charts and timelines for civil engineering project tasks, phases, and resources.

2. Synchronizes scheduling and progress data across project management and reporting platforms using automated workflows.

3. Automates notifications, report generation, and stakeholder updates whenever progress data changes or milestones are met.

4. Enables automated aggregation of field and office data to dynamically update visual project timelines and performance indicators.

Trigger Conditions

1. Automatedly triggers when a task status changes in the project management system.

2. Automates on new field report submission or update from oversight teams.

3. Automated when a resource allocation or timeline adjustment is logged.

4. Automates at scheduled intervals for ongoing project health checks and reporting.

5. Triggered by external data sources, e.g., weather, supply chain, that may impact the critical path.
