What it does

This workflow recalculates the longest dependency chain (the critical path) across a Monday board and detects whether recent date changes have moved the overall project finish date. When and only when the end date moves, it posts a clear alert to a Microsoft Teams channel showing the old date, new date, and which task drove the change.

When to use it

Use it on schedule-sensitive programs where the team only wants to be pinged about slips that actually matter, the ones that move the launch, not every minor task wobble.

How it works

  1. 1A schedule triggers a recalculation a few times per day.
  2. 2The flow fetches all items, durations, and dependency links from the Monday board.
  3. 3A logic step computes the critical path and compares the new projected finish against the last stored finish.
  4. 4If the finish date is unchanged, the run ends silently.
  5. 5If it moved, OpenAI summarizes the driving cause in one line.
  6. 6The alert is posted to the program's Teams channel.
