Abstract: Project management with critical path scheduling and releasing of resources may be provided. In some examples, an application, such as a project management application may receive tasks associated with a project. A subset of the tasks to be categorized as mission-critical tasks may be detected. Resources associated with the mission-critical tasks may be determined. The project management application may evaluate the resources associated with the mission-critical tasks to determine if the resources meet predefined qualifications for the mission-critical tasks.

Abstract: A dynamically responsive availability view is provided. An application, such as an availability service, manages tasks, resources, and a timeline associated with a project. In response to a request by a client application or an automated scheme, availability information associated with the resources is retrieved from a project data store. An availability model is generated based on the availability information and the resources. The availability model includes a chart of availability status plotting a cross section of a collection of the resources and recurring time periods of a timeline of the availability information. The availability model is provided to a client application to prompt the client application to render the availability model.
