Why teams choose ScheduleLens

Where Planera helps you build and manage schedules across the team, ScheduleLens forensically analyses the schedules you already have — in any tool, without a platform commitment.

Forensic analysis, not just scheduling

Planera is a modern platform for building and managing CPM schedules.

ScheduleLens is purpose-built to forensically analyse the schedules you already have — DCMA scoring, delay analysis, and an AI executive narrative.

Analyse any schedule, no migration

You don't have to move your team onto a new authoring platform.

Upload a Primavera P6, MS Project, or Asta Powerproject file and get a forensic report in minutes — whatever tool the schedule was built in.

Pay per report, not a platform subscription

No company-wide rollout or per-portfolio subscription.

Run an analysis from any browser and pay per report from $29, or a monthly plan from $79 when you need to analyse more.

The analysis an authoring tool doesn't run

Planera builds and versions the plan. Track a project on ScheduleLens and it reads what the plan is doing:

  • Forensic delay decomposition — what moved the finish, and why.
  • A multi-baseline timeline when the programme is re-baselined mid-project.
  • Update-integrity checks that flag concealed slip and scheduling-mode changes.
  • A forecast track record across the project's updates.
