For linear projects with repetative tasks (eg roads, sewers, rail, tunnels, bridges etc), time chainage charts are a better way of showing a plan and actual progress than bar charts.
I would like to use this thread to discuss the use of time chainage charts and what features people would like to see on a software package. Existing commercial time chainage software is very limited so I have written my own. It is very good but will it do what you want? Lets find out!
As a starter, my software will allow input of tasks like any project management software and calculate start and end dates based on logic links and constraint dates. However, you input start and end chainages and progress rates for the software to calculate durations. Thus this is also a planning tool. Actual progress can be entered on a daily (or any other period) basis and full history is kept.
There are many formatting options for viewing and printing the chart.
Is there any interest or comments?

Oldest first- 0Peter Clarke ·Thanks Mark, this is commercially available software (called TimeChg2000); a charge is neceassary due to the hundreds of hours of work that went into its development.
I do however offer a free demo version that is time constrained but otherwise fully functional. I will be pleased to send a copy to anyone who is interested.
Further details can be found on my web site at: pbclarke.btinternet.co.uk - 0Bernard Ertl ·Peter,
That URL is not working for me. Are you sure that is correct? I tried http://pbclarke.btinternet.co.uk/ with no luck.

[moderator edit]I changed the URL to a live link[/moderator edit] - 0Bernard Ertl ·Thanks Peter, that worked.
