More mature dependency relationship options (Finish-to-Finish)

[mattd]

Right now, it looks the Gantt view only supports Finish-to-Start

However, I'd like to be able to track Finish-to-Finish

The "workaround" to do this would be to further split by deliverable's final step that is actually dependent on the dependency. However, this generates a lot more data and linkage that makes the everything orders more difficult to both manage and digest

Start-to-Start is one I can find some use in, too, but Finish-to-Finish is very common

Smartsheets is capable of this and summarizes everything well here: https://help.smartsheet.com/articles/765727-enabling-dependencies-using-predecessors

Good idea.
I think I need to set up Start-to-Start dependencies and Lag in my case.

It would be nice to be able to change the dependency settings to something other than Finish-to-Start.

One of the most common dependency in reverse planning is actually Start to Finish.
I have a Milestone, set at a date D, I need to do a task ... and that task needs to be finish before the milestone starts.

In the end, it's the entire scope of relations that need being covered :
- Finish to Start
- Finish to Finish
- Start to Start
- Start to Finish !

It's a real pity that Airtable doesn't cover this because for the rest, tracking PBS, Tracking Risks, Tracking Goals and linking all of them together, I don't see any tool that covers the needs of proper project management that good. If they provided a complete dependency feature (which is not a Nice to Have when you pay 24$/user/month), they would be just the perfect PM tool in my opinion !
