Krama

Project planning for Frappe

Krama — क्रम, Sanskrit for sequence or order — is an open-source project planning tool for Frappe. It combines a spreadsheet-style task grid with an interactive Gantt chart, so hierarchies, dependencies and progress live in one place instead of a detached planning tool.

What Krama gives you

Hierarchical task management

Add, edit, delete, indent and unindent tasks to build a real work breakdown structure rather than a flat list with prefixes.

Interactive Gantt

The chart's date range follows the plan automatically and the layout is responsive, so a schedule stays readable from a laptop to a wall display.

Dependency mapping

Model the links between tasks so the critical path is visible while you are planning, not after a milestone slips.

Progress tracking

Per-task completion and duration derived from start and end dates give an honest view of project health straight from the grid.

Under the hood

Krama builds on frappe-datatable for the grid and frappe-gantt for the timeline, so it inherits the rendering performance and the visual language of Frappe Desk instead of bolting a foreign UI onto it.

Frequently asked questions

What does the name mean?

Krama (क्रम) is a Sanskrit word for sequence, order or systematic progression — which is what the tool does to a project plan.

Is it a standalone app or a Frappe app?

It installs into a Frappe bench like any other app (bench install-app krama) and runs against the Frappe API, so tasks live in your site's database rather than a separate service.

What is it built on?

Vue components on top of frappe-datatable for the editable task grid and frappe-gantt for the chart. It is inspired by jQueryGantt and is MIT licensed.
