Task dependencies
Link tasks that block each other so the critical path stays visible.
Add a dependency
- Open the task drawer.
- Go to Dependencies.
- Select the task that must finish first.
Example: API specs must finish before frontend development starts.
Remove a dependency
Remove the link when the order no longer matters. History stays in the activity log.
Best practices
- Only link true blockers, not related work.
- Resolve dependencies before sprint kickoff.
- Flag blocked cards with a voice note so owners know why work stalled.
