Here at Sensei Labs, we’re on a mission to make project management smoother, smarter, and more intuitive. That's why we’re excited to introduce Conductor’s new and improved Timeline experience — built specifically with Project Managers (PMs) and Enterprise Project Management Offices (ePMOs) in mind.

Whether you're managing complex enterprise initiatives or orchestrating day-to-day workstreams, the enhanced Timeline offers the precision, speed, and flexibility you need to keep your projects on track without the heavy lifting.

Why We Rebuilt the Conductor Timeline

In today’s fast-paced environment, project managers need more than just a static plan. They need dynamic tools that can adapt in real-time. After gathering feedback from our customers, we saw an exciting opportunity to take Conductor’s Timeline experience to the next level.

Earlier versions lacked features like automatic rollups and flexible progress tracking. Our new Timeline is purpose-built to close those gaps and deliver an intuitive experience that works the way PMs expect.

A New Standard for Enterprise Project Management

Here’s a look at the powerful new features now available in Conductor’s updated Timeline:

Simplified Dates and Duration Tracking

Managing task timelines is easier than ever. Every task now has Start and Finish dates with an optional Baseline field for tracking against your original plan. Plus, a new Duration field automatically adjusts your dates based on the number of working days you enter, enabling faster updates with fewer clicks.

Automatic Rollups for Progress and Dates

Say goodbye to manual calculations! With optional automatic rollups, Conductor now calculates project and task progress for you, keeping your timelines accurate and up to date without the extra work.

A Fresh New Timeline Design

The Timeline has been redesigned with focused improvements for Project Managers. Highlights include:

  • Inline task creation: Quickly add tasks without leaving your view.
  • Column-level filtering: Zero in on the most relevant information by filtering tasks by Workstream, Project, Type, Status, Progress, Owner, and Start/End Date.
  • Save custom views: Bookmark filtered views for easy access later.

And with performance upgrades under the hood, your Timeline experience will be faster and more responsive than ever before.

Critical Path, Task Indenting, and More

We didn’t stop at surface-level updates. We introduced even more powerful features to help you orchestrate work seamlessly:

  • Timeline Critical Path: Visualize the critical path directly on your timeline to instantly identify the tasks that could delay your project’s delivery.
  • Task Indenting and Outdenting: Structure your projects visually by creating subtasks with just a click.
  • Drag and Move Tasks: Easily reorganize tasks across projects or into subtasks for greater flexibility.

Designed for the Way You Work

All these enhancements are enabled by default — no complicated setup required. We want you to spend less time configuring tools and more time delivering results.

And this is just the beginning. We’re committed to continually evolving Conductor as the #1 choice for modern project managers and ePMOs.
