Different color for overdue tasks that are late bc of a dependent task

Emily Bressler

Right now, any overdue task is marked red. It would be helpful for tasks that are late because the dependent task before it is not complete; that task would be blue or another color. This will help identify what is truly late, and what is late because it's waiting on something else.

Below is an example of how the coloring would be helpful to identify at a glance

Hi @Emily Bressler, I think for a projectmanager this is too late. If you have a task that is late and this depends on a predecessor than also this predecessor is late (and that for an even longer time). So best practise would be to react as soon as the predecessor task is late. This can be in solving the problem (on a technical base, so whatever it means from putting more people on the task or whatever) or to change the project plan. Both would mean that the task you have in mind here would not become late. I think that should be the goal for a project manager.
