About
We don’t sell software. We help you buy it.
gantt-chart.co.uk is an editorial site about project planning and scheduling for people running real work. Compliance programme managers sequencing a SOC 2 or ISO 27001 audit. Construction PMs scheduling a commercial build or a data centre commissioning phase. Ops leads choosing between monday.com, Asana, ClickUp, Smartsheet, Microsoft Project, and the dozen other tools that claim to solve their problem.
We cover three areas in depth: compliance programme timelines, project management software, and commercial construction scheduling. Each of these has its own hub on the site — /compliance/, /pm-software/, and /construction/.
What makes this site different
Most of the content that ranks on search engines for queries in these areas is written by the vendors themselves. A “best project management software” article is usually written by a PM software vendor. A “SOC 2 timeline” guide is usually written by a GRC platform pitching automation. A construction scheduling comparison is usually written by a construction PM SaaS company.
That’s a problem, because those publishers can’t honestly tell you when their own product is wrong for you. They also can’t serve their competitors’ ads on their own comparison pages, which means the ads you see on vendor sites are carefully curated adjacencies — not the full market.
We don’t have that constraint. We don’t sell project management software, compliance automation, or construction scheduling tools. We have no affiliate relationships with the vendors we write about. We don’t accept sponsored content, we don’t accept vendor-paid placements in our comparisons, and we don’t accept “editorial partnerships” of any kind. When we say one tool wins for a given use case and another doesn’t, that judgment is ours.
That independence is why we exist. It’s also why we can tell you things vendor content can’t — when to stay on Excel, when a GRC platform is overkill, when Procore is wrong for your segment, when a compliance framework isn’t worth pursuing yet.
How we fund this
The site is funded through display advertising served by Google AdSense. Ads are placed automatically by Google’s systems based on page content and reader interests. We do not choose which specific advertisers appear on any given page, and advertisers have no influence over our editorial content. If a vendor we’ve criticised in an article buys an ad that appears next to that article, that’s Google’s auction at work — not our editorial decision.
We think this is a healthier model than the alternatives. Affiliate revenue creates a financial interest in recommending whichever tool pays the highest commission. Sponsored content blurs the line between editorial and marketing. Subscription paywalls restrict access to the people who most need the information — the PM trying to make a tool decision this week, not next quarter. Display advertising lets us keep the content free, keep our editorial judgment independent, and fund the editorial work.
If you want to support the site, visiting our content with ads enabled is how you do it. You don’t need to click anything — page views with ads served are what makes this work.
Who writes here
The site is produced by an editorial team with practical experience across the three domains we cover — compliance programme management, project management tooling, and commercial construction scheduling. We draw on primary sources where we can: standards bodies (ISO, NIST, AICPA, PCI SSC), regulators (HHS OCR, European Commission, ICO), industry benchmarks (AGC, ABC, CBRE, JLL, Uptime Institute), and vendor documentation. Where we cite a source, we link to it.
We refresh articles on a published cadence — typically every six to twelve months for evergreen content, more frequently for topics where regulation, standards, or product features are changing fast (EU AI Act compliance, AI agents in PM software, the Cyber AI Profile). The “last updated” date on each article reflects when it was last reviewed against primary sources.
A note on the .co.uk
The domain is .co.uk. The content is primarily written for US readers — US regulation (HIPAA, PCI DSS, Section 179D), US standards adoption patterns, US construction market context. The UK domain is a historical artefact of where the site is operated from, not a statement about the audience. UK and international readers will still find most of our content directly relevant, particularly ISO standards coverage, EU AI Act analysis, and the general project management and construction scheduling material.
