Some tasks cannot start until another one is done. The design must be approved before it is built; the copy must be final before it is translated. Task dependencies make these links visible.
What’s new
- Blocking and waiting on: link any two tasks from the task’s Dependencies panel.
- Clear status: tasks that are waiting on unfinished work show a blocked badge, and the blocking task shows how many tasks depend on it.
- Automatic dates: when you move a blocking task, Taskly offers to shift the dates of every task that depends on it.
- Calendar lines: in the calendar view, dependencies are drawn as thin lines between tasks.
Tips
Keep dependency chains short. If a task waits on more than two others, it is often a sign that it should be split.
Dependencies work across projects, so a marketing task can wait on a product task. Guests only see dependencies between tasks in the project they were invited to.
