This readme reads like I already know the project, what it does, what problems it solves, and how it works.

> A precise project scheduling engine with minute-level accuracy for resource allocation and dependency management.

I have no idea what that means.

I write firmware, so does that mean this project is a scheduler for a while(1) based mcu project?

> pip install scriptplan

Oh, it's python. ok, so it's a "resource allocation and dependency management" engine.. for a python project? I mean, I'm using pip to install it, so it's not a daemon style engine that my project can hook into, right?

> # Generate JSON report to stdout

> plan report project.tjp

Oh, it IS some kind of daemon or service that runs when I install it with pip?

> Certification Level: Airport-Grade / Mission Critical

Okay, so is there a standards bureau that certified it? if so shouldnt there be a certification number somewhere? then maybe I could figure out what this does.

Read to the end, I still don't know what the first line in the readme means. Maybe I need to look up 'TaskJuggler'?
