In every project, timing determines success. Even with the best teams, projects struggle when dependencies are unclear or delays go unnoticed. That is exactly why Orangescrum has released powerful new enhancements — Critical Path visualization and Circular Dependency detection. These features bring complete transparency to project scheduling so that your teams consistently deliver on time.
In our previous blog, we introduced Feature List and Feature Board — a major release that brought more clarity inside Epics and empowered agile execution at the Feature level. With this new update, we’re now enhancing predictability even further by helping you control what impacts delivery most — the Critical Path.
With this enhancement, Orangescrum helps organizations simplify planning, reduce operational delays, and take full control of project delivery using smart automation.
What Exactly Is a Critical Path?
It is the backbone of your project delivery. It represents the longest chain of task dependencies that directly determine the final completion date.
If a single task in is delayed, your entire project delivery is extended. Therefore, identifying and monitoring the path is essential for accurate forecasting and proactive risk management.
In Orangescrum, the Critical Path is highlighted right inside the Gantt chart. It allows users to:
Instantly visualize major delivery-impacting tasks
Prioritize work based on urgency
Reassign resources before risks escalate
Ensure deadlines remain realistic and achievable
Visualize the Critical Path in the Gantt Chart
The Gantt chart is already one of the most loved features of Orangescrum. Now, with Critical Path support, it becomes even more impactful.
As you define deadlines and connect dependencies, Orangescrum automatically calculates and highlights the Critical Path in real-time. The longest, most important set of tasks appears clearly in red—making it easy to monitor and manage.
Even a small delay is immediately visible, so teams act fast to maintain workflow efficiency.
