Task Dependencies

    Task Dependencies ThatKeep Work in Order

    Some tasks simply can't start until others finish. Make that explicit so nobody picks up blocked work.

    When this helps

    • Work has a required sequence
    • People keep starting tasks that aren't ready
    • A single late task quietly delays everything after it
    • You need to explain a slipped deadline with evidence

    Blocking and blocked, made visible

    Link any two cards and both show the relationship.

    • Blocked cards are flagged on the board
    • A dependency graph shows the whole chain
    • Timeline draws the links as arrows
    • Moving a date shows you everything it pushes

    Find the real bottleneck

    The dependency graph makes it obvious which single task is holding up the most work — usually not the one people are talking about.

    Example: a website rebuild

    1. 1Link "Approve designs" as blocking "Build homepage"
    2. 2Link "Build homepage" as blocking "Content upload"
    3. 3Open the dependency graph to see the full chain
    4. 4When approval slips two days, see exactly which launch date moves

    Dependencies are included from Starter ($5/mo) upwards. Full plan details. Last reviewed: September 2026.
