A dependency records that one work item has to finish before another can proceed. In Collabase a dependency is a Blocks relation between two work items. It can connect work items in the same project or in different projects and Spaces.

​
Dependency types

Dependencies created in Collabase are Finish to start: the blocked work starts when the blocking work is done.

​
Create a dependency

Drag from the dot at the end of one bar to another bar. See Timeline dependencies.
Both ways need the Link task permission.

​
See dependencies

An arrow is drawn only when both work items are on the same timeline. A dependency on a work item in another project shows in Relations and in the Relation Graph, not as an arrow.

​
What Collabase does not do

  • It does not move dependent work items when you reschedule the blocking one.
  • It does not warn when a blocked work item starts before its blocker ends.
  • It has no critical path.
Check dependencies yourself after moving dates, for example with the Relation Graph.
