ForgeRail Production Workspace

Design objective

Replace the promotional hero with a working production-control surface. The schedule explains why requirements, costing, evidence, and decisions are already active: they are the concrete outputs of pre-production.

Schedule Overview

Best all-around command center: schedule first, then readiness, evidence, decisions, ownership, and blockers.

Rail-Line Schedule

Uses the rail metaphor as information architecture, with every workstream carried across the same project clock.

Gantt Workbench

The most conventional delivery view: work packages, owners, status, dependencies, gates, and dates.

Phase-Gate Board

Frames pre-production as required gates—not speculative activity—leading directly into production authorization.

Original

05 · CURRENT

Reference design preserved in the center. Strong visual identity, but the hero reads more like positioning than project control.

Milestone Ledger

Best for accountability: each milestone is tied to phase, target date, status, owner, and dependency.

Schedule + Risks

Puts delivery variance and risk burn-down next to the master schedule for active project management.

Critical Path Map

Explains exactly how requirements and costing unlock build readiness, integration, acceptance, and completion.

Delivery Strip

A compact production homepage with schedule health, next 30 days, owner check-ins, blockers, and build readiness.
