#DEPENDENCY IN ITASKX 3 HOW TO#
Lucas Fleischer, Creative Director at 270 Strategies How to use dependencies

The ability to mark a task as waiting has been super helpful for many of our team’s processes. Manager reviews: “Submit review” is waiting on “Write review”.Office remodel: “Structural sign off” is waiting on “Building inspection”.Bug tracking: “Prioritize fix” is waiting on “Reproduce bug”.Event planning: “Secure venue” is waiting on “Approve budget”.Product launches: “Launch to all users” is waiting on “Incorporate feedback from beta testers”.Here are a few ways you might want to try using it: This feature is useful for managing work that needs to be done in a particular order. You’ll also get notified if the due date for the writing task changes, so you can adjust the due date of your review task accordingly. When the document is written, you will receive an Inbox notification that your review task is ready to start. Mark the review task as waiting on the writing task. Let’s say you need to review a document but you can’t start until your teammate has finished writing the document. Everyone will know when to work on what-and how the timing of their work will impact the rest of the team-without having to check in with a project manager or wade through Gantt charts or timelines. This new feature gives teams a simple way to manage complex workflows and increases clarity on projects. Rolling out over the next few days to all Asana Premium customers, dependencies let you know which tasks are ready to start, and which tasks are waiting on others. When collaborating on different parts of a project, it can be hard to keep track of all the moving pieces and where they stand. Or maybe you assume they’ll let you know when their piece is done, only to find out they’d finished it last week, and you could’ve started a long time ago.

Every day (or maybe every hour) you spend valuable time checking in on their progress. We’ve all been there… you’re working on a project and you have to wait for someone else to finish their part of the work before you can get started on yours.
