When a task is marked as complete the process looks to any tasks that are dependent on the newly completed task. If a task is marked as “Not Started” and all of the dependency tasks are marked as complete then the process will change the task status to “Started” and email all resources that are assigned to the task that has started. The process notifies resources that a task is ready to start and saves the project manager the manual effort of updating dependent tasks. NOTE: The process relies on task dependencies and is most useful in those environments where task dependencies are managed. -
