Task Dependencies allow you to define relationships between tasks that are dependent on each other. It is a handy feature for collaborative teams to mark the order in which activities need to be performed.
Rocketlane notifies you about dependent tasks so that you can schedule your tasks accordingly.
Note: Rocketlane allows you to have finish to start task dependencies. This means that dependent tasks are meant to start after the dependencies are marked as Complete.
