Other tools record the past; Motionode navigates the future. Run our Scenario Solver alongside your current tool to simulate solutions in a sandbox. Test overtime, new hires, or scope cuts before committing to your main plan.
TEST BEFORE YOU COMMIT
When a project falls behind, Motionode's Scenario Solver lets you test recovery strategies in a sandbox before applying them to your real plan.
"If I approve 10 hours of overtime for Sarah, do we hit the Nov 1 launch?"
→ System Result: YES (Cost: +$800)
"If I add a Senior Dev to this sprint, how much time do we save?"
→ System Result: 3 Days saved
"If we move the 'Dark Mode' feature to Phase 2, when do we launch?"
→ System Result: Launch moves to Oct 25 (Early)
Tools like Asana, Jira, and Monday tell you "You're 2 weeks behind." But they leave the decision to you: How do we catch up?
You add more developers, hoping it speeds things up (Brooks' Law says it might slow you down).
You ask for overtime without knowing if it's enough to hit the date.
You can't prove to the client that their changes caused the delay.
A FLIGHT SIMULATOR FOR YOUR PROJECT
Motionode gives you a sandbox based on your real project data. Our physics engine calculates the ripple effect of every change, giving you a proven path to recovery before committing resources.
Instead of guessing if adding a developer helps (Brooks' Law says it might slow you down), or approving overtime blindly — test it first, see the outcome, then decide.
The system flags that the project is trending 4 days late based on current velocity.
Click "Solve." You are presented with sliders for Resources, Overtime, and Scope. Adjust them to see the timeline react in real-time.
Once you find the fix (e.g., "Add 15 hours overtime"), generate a PDF report to send to the client or management: "We can hit the deadline, but it requires this budget approval."
