Task Dependencies

Some tasks genuinely can't start until another one finishes. Mark that relationship explicitly, so it's visible on the task itself — not something someone has to remember.

How It Works

Link a task to what it depends on

Add one or more 'depends on' links from a task to the tasks that need to finish first.

See the blocking relationship on the task

Anyone opening the task sees exactly what it's waiting on, without asking around.

Combine with status

Pair dependencies with the Blocked status so a task's state and its actual blocker are both visible at a glance.

Why It Matters

Prevents work from starting out of order and having to be redone

Makes hidden project risk visible — a chain of dependencies is the most common cause of schedule slips

Removes the need for a separate spreadsheet tracking 'what's blocking what'

Works alongside subtasks — a subtask can depend on a sibling subtask

Frequently Asked Questions

Can a task depend on a task in a different project?

Dependencies link tasks within the same workspace, keeping the relationship visible to everyone with access.

Does the dependent task auto-unblock when the blocker finishes?

The dependency link stays visible on the task; you still control the task's own status directly.

Can I see all currently blocked tasks in one place?

Yes — filter any task list or board by status to surface everything marked Blocked.
