Could you build this?
Partial While standard web CRUD can build the UI, implementing a full PMBOK-compliant engine with Critical Path Method (CPM) scheduling, Earned Value Management (EVM), and complex dependency graphs requires rigorous algorithmic logic.
What it would actually take: The stack would involve Django/Node.js with PostgreSQL and a rich interactive frontend (React/Gantt charts). The hardest engineering component is the deterministic scheduling engine calculating early/late start dates, total/free float, critical path recalculations across large dependency networks, and EVM variance equations (CV, SV, CPI, SPI) in real-time, requiring experienced software engineering for graph algorithms and project management math.
