Tool looks good, but DEFINITELY need to see dependencies - else it will only be possible to use for a high level plan..

Agree with the comments above. If you guys don't make any function for planning with a sort of dependencies, this tool will never be successful among porject leaders.

The interface is really fresh, and I love the flexible way to make tasks and move them. But as mentioned above, I really need a way to keep the tasks in relationship to each others. If not, I unfortunately needs to make Microsoft Project plans as well, and I guess that wasn't the origin thought....

This is great as a basic high-level planning tool, it has a good intuitive user interface, however is will have no future unless dependencies can be implemented and presented on the visuals. I would suggest baselining and the ability to track progress are also bare minimums

Great start - but it needs more work before it can be considered as an effective tool.

Without possibility to define dependencies the system is useless for planning purposes.

I disagree with the need of dependecies. Although at some times it can be handy with links, most of the time I add those to MS-project it just totally screw up the nice easy to view layout.

FOR:
Nice layout plans & easy to comprehend -> Keep it simple (ProjectPlanner is very good)
Complex & detailed plans add dependencies -> Such a plan tool already exists (MS-Project)

I repeat my previous comment:

and takes the opportunity to correct my mail address which was incorrect previously.

Hi,
I support very much the need for dependencies.
Plans change causing tasks to delay or prolong. To manually change every dependant task individually is making the tool too inefficient to use.
A workaround could be to have a multiple select of a group of tasks and then shift all in one action.

I agree with Mathias. I have newer been in a project that doesn't need replanning. Without proper dependencies in PP you still need to do the replannning somewhere else (MS Project etc) and then go back in PP and change the dates manually. Then you loose the advantage of having everything for the project in one place and there are lots of unneceesary extra work.
