How the project plan generator works

From the first sentence to a plan your team can work with, in four steps.

  1. Describe your project

    One sentence is enough. The more you say about goal, scope, date and stakeholders, the more precise the plan.

  2. AI plans in several stages

    Phases and tasks first, then dates with dependencies, budget, risks and a check of which obligations apply to your project.

  3. Review and adjust

    Phases, tasks, dates and budget are fully editable. AI recommendations point out gaps such as missing approvals.

  4. Run it or export

    Keep working in PathHub with progress, costs and status reports, or export to Excel, PDF, Trello, Asana, Monday.com or Jira.

One sentence, one project plan

This is what a plan from the generator looks like. The input was a single sentence; everything below was created by the AI.

InputRoll out a new CRM for 40 sales reps at three locations, including data migration from Excel and training.

11 weeks6 phases28 tasks6 milestonesBudget approx. €66,0008 stakeholders6 risks6 obligations

Obligations found (excerpt)

  • GDPR privacy assessment, DPIA check
  • Data processing agreement with the CRM provider
  • Least-privilege, role-based access
  • Retention and deletion rules for CRM records

Risk with mitigation

Poor Excel data quality. Mitigation: data-quality assessment and cleansing rules by the end of week 4, cleansing and reconciliation in weeks 5–6.

Final milestone

Week 11: CRM live for all 40 sales reps at three locations, final migration reconciled and hypercare handed over to business as usual.

What the project plan generator creates

A complete project plan rather than a task list. Everything stays editable and connected in one plan.

Phase plan with duration

Realistic time estimates per phase, based on project type and scope.

Tasks per phase

Detailed to-do list: not just headings, but concrete steps.

Stakeholder analysis

Stakeholders identified from context: internal, external, decision-makers, influencers.

Risk assessment

Industry-typical risks with probability of occurrence and mitigations.

Milestones & timeline

Clearly defined quality gates and realistic deadlines.

Budget framework

Industry benchmark as orientation: adjustable, not rigid.

Compliance pointers

References to GDPR, ISO, industry-specific rules (e.g. critical infrastructure).

AI recommendations

Ongoing suggestions for optimization: tasks, risk reduction, next steps.

In the app

From one sentence to a finished Path

This is what the generator's result looks like in the app.

How to get a better plan

The generator works with what you tell it. These details make the biggest difference.

  • Goal

    What should be different at the end? For example “one CRM for the whole sales team instead of Excel lists”.

  • Scope

    How many people, locations or systems are affected?

  • Constraints

    Target date and budget range, if you already know them.

  • Specifics

    Works council, external vendors, legacy systems, data migration or deadlines.

  • What is out of scope

    Boundaries keep the plan from growing too large.

  • Refine afterwards

    The plan is editable. AI recommendations and the AI chat help you adjust it.

FAQ about the project plan generator

Is the project plan generator free?

Yes. You can try the generator without signing up and view the finished plan. With a free account you save one Path and create up to three plans per month with AI. Team costs €49 per month (15 Paths, 3,000 AI points per month), Business €129 per month (50 Paths, 10,000 AI points per month).

How long does it take to generate a project plan?

Usually 3 to 5 minutes. The AI plans in several stages: phases and tasks first, then dates with dependencies, budget, risks and obligations. You do not need to stay on the page.

What do I need to enter?

One sentence about your project is enough. The plan gets more precise if you add the goal, scope, target date, budget range and key stakeholders. Optionally you can set team size, approach (agile or classic), number of phases and risk profile.

Yes. PDF is available from Team, Excel on the Business plan. From Team you can also export tasks to Trello, Asana, Monday.com and Jira. Or keep working in PathHub and track progress and costs there.

Which projects does the generator work for?

Mainly internal initiatives: software rollouts such as CRM, ERP or DMS, cloud migrations, office moves, certifications like ISO 27001, compliance projects like NIS2 or e-invoicing, and HR projects such as time tracking or recruiting.

What happens to my project data?

The application and database run in Germany (Hetzner). For AI processing we use providers such as OpenAI and Anthropic, including in the US, covered by data processing agreements and EU Standard Contractual Clauses. We do not train models on your input. All subprocessors are listed in the Trust Center.

Can I edit the generated plan?

Yes. Phases, tasks, dates, owners, budget, risks and obligations are fully editable. AI recommendations point out gaps such as missing approvals or unrealistic dates.
