Product tour
Built for how projects really move.
Plans change. Cairn is designed for that — timelines that reflow, forecasts that learn, and a workload view that keeps people from burning out mid-project.
Timelines
A plan that reflows when reality changes.
Link tasks with dependencies, mark holidays and time off, then drag. Cairn moves everything downstream and tells the people affected — no more silent slips.
Four dependency types, with lag and lead time

Forecasts
Know the landing date before anyone asks.
Cairn compares your plan with how the team has actually delivered, then projects a date range for every milestone. When a range drifts, you see why — and what would pull it back.
Confidence ranges, not single optimistic dates
Suggested fixes when a milestone slips
Shareable read-only links for leadership and clients
Workload
Balance the team before the week breaks.
See every person's hours across projects in one view. Over-capacity weeks turn amber long before they become missed deadlines or late nights.
Capacity that respects part-time hours and time off
Drag work between people right from the chart
Private by default — individuals see their own load only
