DMSI Planner — Everything You Need to Manage Your Projects
Multiple views. Deep hierarchy. Built-in AI. Dependencies. Full audit trail. All on your desktop.
Four Ways to See Your Work
Switch between views instantly — your data, shown the way you think. Each view highlights different aspects of the same projects and tasks.
- Gantt Chart — Timeline view with horizontal bars, date ranges, and dependency arrows. Configurable columns let you show exactly the fields you need. Zoom from days to months.
- Kanban Board — Cards grouped by status with drag-and-drop. Move tasks between columns to update their status instantly. Visual at a glance.
- Dashboard — Status summary cards showing how many items are in each state. Quick overview of your entire portfolio without opening individual projects.
- Logger — Chronological activity log with powerful filtering. Every change is recorded automatically. Search by date range, type, or keyword. Export to CSV for reporting. Ask the AI to summarize activity over any period.
Deep Hierarchy — Real-World Organization
Most planners give you projects and tasks. DMSI Planner gives you four levels of hierarchy that mirror how real work is organized.
- Product Groups — Top-level containers for related products. Group by business unit, client, or domain.
- Products — Individual products, services, or initiatives within a group. Each has its own projects and settings.
- Projects — Specific efforts within a product — a release, a feature set, a campaign. Track status, dates, and progress.
- Tasks — The actual work items. Assign status, priority, dates, categories, tags, and detailed descriptions.
Expand and collapse the tree to focus on what matters. Drag items to reorganize. The hierarchy is always visible in the sidebar.
Built-in AI Assistant
Not a chatbot that guesses. An assistant that reads your actual project database and gives you real answers.
- Natural language queries — Ask “how many projects are in progress?” or “what did I work on last week?” and get answers based on your real data
- Direct database access — The AI reads your SQLite database with full schema awareness. It knows your products, projects, tasks, statuses, categories, tags, and activity logs.
- Read-only — The AI can query but never modify your data. Safe by design.
- Multiple providers — Claude Code CLI (recommended), Anthropic API, OpenAI, Google Gemini, or local Ollama models
- Voice input and output — Speak your questions and hear responses. Choose from multiple TTS voices. Configurable speech rate and volume.
- Activity summaries — Ask the AI to summarize what happened in any time period, across any scope
Dependencies & Planning
Know what’s blocking what — before it becomes a problem.
- Finish-to-start dependencies — Link any task or project to its predecessors. Work can’t start until its dependencies are done.
- Visual dependency arrows — See the relationships directly on the Gantt chart. Arrows connect dependent items so the critical path is always visible.
- Cross-level dependencies — Dependencies work across hierarchy levels. A task in one project can depend on a task in a completely different product.
- Blocked status detection — Items with unfinished dependencies are flagged automatically so you know where bottlenecks are forming.
Categories, Tags & Saved Views
Organize and find your work your way — then save the setup so you never have to rebuild it.
- Categories — Create custom categories with colors. Assign multiple categories to any item. Filter by category across all views.
- Tags — Lightweight labels for cross-cutting concerns. Tag items with keywords and filter instantly.
- Advanced filters — Filter by status, category, tag, date range, hierarchy level, or any combination. Filters apply across all views.
- Saved views — Save any filter combination as a named view. Switch between saved views with one click. Share views across your workflow.
Integration & Infrastructure
- Claudius Corp Sync — Optional bidirectional synchronization with Claudius Corp. Products and projects flow between both apps. Use DMSI Planner as your personal planning view alongside your AI-powered virtual company.
