How the plan is built

Every IA gets six phases, back-calculated from your final deadline. Defaults match the way most IB teachers actually pace the work — tune them if your school differs.

  1. 01

    Topic approval

    Your research question or investigation focus, signed off by the teacher.

    ~1 week
  2. 02

    Research & planning

    Source list, methodology, or proposal. Where humanities IAs start and sciences scope the experiment.

    ~2 weeks
  3. 03

    Data collection / analysis

    Experiments, primary research, fieldwork, or source analysis. Sciences default to 4 weeks.

    ~3–4 weeks
  4. 04

    Draft 1

    Full-length first draft submitted to your teacher.

    ~2 weeks
  5. 05

    Teacher feedback

    Built-in 14-day buffer because teachers rarely turn it around faster.

    ~2 weeks
  6. 06

    Revision & final polish

    Final edits, bibliography, and submission.

    ~2 weeks

Your planner

Enter up to six subjects with their final school deadline. Your plan generates live below. Everything stays in your browser.

Each row is one Internal Assessment. Provide the subject, whether it is a science, the final deadline from your school, and optionally an earlier IBO deadline.

Bottleneck heatmap

Each cell is one week. Darker = more phases active that week. Weeks with three or more phases are flagged as bottlenecks.

Add at least one IA with a final deadline to see your heatmap.

Week-by-week milestones

Every milestone for every IA, grouped by the week they're due.

Your weekly milestones will appear here.

Frequently asked

Is my data sent anywhere?

No. Everything you enter is stored in your browser's local storage. Close the tab and the data stays on your device only. Clear your browser data to wipe it.

What if my school's deadline differs from the IBO deadline?

Each row lets you enter both a school deadline and an optional IBO final deadline. Your plan back-plans from the earlier of the two so you're never late to your school's submission window.

The default phase lengths don't match my teacher's pacing.

Open the "Customize phases" panel on any IA row to tune weeks per phase. Sciences default to four weeks of data collection; humanities default to three weeks of research.

How does the bottleneck heatmap work?

Each week gets a count of how many IA phases are simultaneously active. Three or more = flagged in red. That's your cue to shift an earlier phase forward before it stacks.

Can I import straight into Google Calendar?

Yes. Use "Export .ics" — Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, and Outlook all accept it. Each milestone becomes a calendar event on its due week.
