Add Dependency Manually

In Gantt Chart tab, CSMs can now manually add dependency between:

  • End date of an Objective CTA and Start Date of another Objective CTA.
  • End date of a task and Start Date of another task within the same Objective CTA.

To add the dependency between Objective CTAs/Tasks:

  1. Drag the end connector of the Objective CTA/Task to the start connector of the dependent Objective CTA/Task.

Notes:

  • After adding dependency, moving Objective CTA-2’s Due Date along the timeline will also move the Objective CTA-3’s Start Date to equal distance, but will not have any impact on the Objective CTA-1's Due Date or Start Date.
  • When the Objective CTA -2 is dependent on the Objective CTA -1, then the Start Date of the Objective CTA -2 cannot be before the Due Date of Objective CTA-1.
