One might fall into panic and chaos. That&#8217;s why Task Dependencies was created to help organize targets and missions.<\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Assume that you have been using Tracup for a while and are familiar with most of its basic features such as creating tasks, changing task status, and sharing with your colleagues. Just like a chess champion looking for better skills, I am pretty sure you are not satisfied with the general uses of this software.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">So here comes one of the most useful features of task management:&nbsp;Task Dependency!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/EklIkbmohT0\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"100%\" height=\"444\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">1. What is Task Dependency?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Task dependency, in an easy definition, is to make one task rely on the other. Thus,&nbsp;<a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tracup.com\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Tracup<\/a>&nbsp;team developed this amazing feature to create priorities and task orders for team leaders or individuals to organize their work.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There are two types of task dependencies:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Waiting on: Tasks that must be completed before this task.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Blocking: Tasks that can&rsquo;t start until this task is completed.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tracup.com\/blog\/article_pictures\/task_dependencies_1.jpg\" alt=\"task_dependencies_1\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Tips: Treat a current task as a course you are taking now. Waiting on tasks are the pre-requirement of this course, and the blocking tasks are courses you can take after passing the current one.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">2.How to Apply Task Dependencies to Specific Tasks?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There are two ways to open the task dependency chart.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">You can open it from the end of every task, then select&nbsp;Task Dependencies. See below:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tracup.com\/blog\/article_pictures\/task_dependencies_2.jpg\" alt=\"task_dependencies_2\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Or you can open a specific task and find the&nbsp;Task Settings&nbsp;in the upper middle of the task, then select&nbsp;Task Dependencies.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tracup.com\/blog\/article_pictures\/task_dependencies_3.jpg\" alt=\"task_dependencies_3\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Click Add waiting on task\/Add task that is blocked to open all tasks of the project. Then click on any tasks you want to set task dependencies for them.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tracup.com\/blog\/article_pictures\/task_dependencies_4.gif\" alt=\"task_dependencies_4\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Once a Waiting on\/Blocking task is added, it will appear next to the task. Waiting on tasks will have&nbsp;the yellow&nbsp;forbidden icon, and&nbsp;blocking&nbsp;tasks will have red forbidden icons.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Open a task with task dependency would also display those icons, click on these icons to jump to Task Dependencies sections.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tracup.com\/blog\/article_pictures\/task_dependencies_5.gif\" alt=\"task_dependencies_5\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Here comes a very important use of&nbsp;Task Dependencies:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>if you are finishing a task that has waiting on tasks with it, a reminder would appear to tell you that there are something you need to complete before this task. So you won&rsquo;t leave any key tasks behind.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tracup.com\/blog\/article_pictures\/task_dependencies_6.gif\" alt=\"task_dependencies_6\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">3.Task Dependencies with Gantt View<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Task dependency has a best friend: Gantt View.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In Gantt view, all task dependencies become visible and manageable without repeatable work. Simply press a dot at the beginning\/end of a task, and drag it with a dot from another task to link them together and create a directional arrow line between tasks.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/5tKI3E0WDpo\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"425\" height=\"350\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Video Link: <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/5tKI3E0WDpo\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/5tKI3E0WDpo<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If you ever want to cancel a task dependency relationship, move your mouse to the end of the line. You will see a cross mark appearing, simply click it to remove&nbsp;task dependencies.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">When you manage&nbsp;task dependencies&nbsp;in the right way, you can successfully project manage them. The easiest and most intuitive way to do this is to use&nbsp;Tracup.
