VIew 'Real Time' resource availability by predecessor status

Oftentimes, team members are waiting on predecessors that are "late" to complete before they can begin their own tasks.

However, these late predecessors mess up our resource planner--making team members look like they're overallocated with tasks they can't work on

We would like to see something like the following:

  • When a late predecessor task isn't finished, future tasks in the resource planner would have an "x" through it (or some way to denote current task/project status)

  • This would allow us to see how many "on time" tasks (and hours) a resource is really scheduled for

  • It would better allow us to see real capacity (and potentially take on new projects we didn't think we had capacity for)

Our suggestion sounds a bit similar to the following post, but I think also includes a few other points not previously mentioned.
