Task dependencies can be a tricky thing. However, with Project Tracker, you are on the path to simple task dependency management.

In most projects, certain tasks cannot begin unless another is completed. This can be difficult to manage when the project is complex and contains a high number of tasks that depend on the successful completion of others. These complex projects demand structure and Project Tracker has the perfect solution.

This is where task dependencies come in. Task dependencies let you decide when a task can be started. For example, testing on a software bundle can only start after building the application file is completed. With Project Tracker, you can specify that a certain task can only start after one or several other tasks are completed.

Moreover, you can set time intervals (lag time) between dependent tasks, to accommodate for required delays. For example, in a construction project, you may need to let the foundations set before building the walls. With Project Tracker, you can set this lag time (in hours) so that the second task can only start a set number of hours after which its predecessor is completed.

The interesting feature of task dependencies in Project Tracker is that dates are automatically adjusted. This means that if a task is completed 2 day earlier than planned, its successor task will be set to start earlier as well!
