Task Dependencies (Blocked By / Blocks)

Express sequential work by linking tasks with dependencies.

How to set a dependency:

1. Open a team task
2. Look for the 'Blocked By' section
3. Search for and select the blocking task

What happens:

• A Blocked badge appears on tasks whose dependencies aren't complete
• When a blocking task is completed, dependent tasks are automatically unblocked
• Team members can see the dependency chain at a glance

Use cases:

• Design → Development → QA Review
• Research → Write Draft → Review → Publish
• API Setup → Frontend Integration → Testing

Why it matters:

Without dependencies, team members start work that can't proceed because another task isn't done yet. This prevents wasted effort and makes project flow visible.
