Gantt Chart Help

[Alora_Seegmiller]

We use Asana for our Land Development company and we love the Gantt chart function. However, if something gets delayed it can affect the due date for many other tasks and then I have to manually go change those due dates. It would be great if there was a way to make the due dates for tasks dependent upon another tasks and if the original task due dates gets changed it auto changes other tasks. Is this possible or is there a better way I can achieve my goal? Help.

On X+20- get the CFO involved. O…

How does it work? All you do is fill in a Duration custom field for each of your tasks, indicating how long that task will take to complete. Flowsana then works in the background, setting and ad…

Oh, yes! Sorry, Phil. I forgot to mention that.
