Team Task Manager 2.41

Circular Dependency

Circular dependency is a scenario that is not allowed in Team Task Manager.  It occurs when you try to create task dependencies that are not logically possible.

Listed below are two such examples:

1. Task 2 can not be started because it is dependent on Task 1 to finish.  In this case, you can not create a task dependency from Task 2 to Task 1. 

   

2. Task 1 is dependent on Task 2 which is dependent on Task 3 (see the above figure).  In this case, you can not create a task dependency from Task 3 to Task 1.

To sum it up, you can not create a task dependency from a Successor to the Predecessor.
