Hi, We keep running into an issue at our agency with shared deliverables that should have two different deadlines. It would seem logical that we set up two tasks with task 2 dependent on task 1, but there's a semi-complicated issue with that. All of our tasks are dependent on an approval process. If the task is rejected, than it automatically adds a rejection issue and it's up to the approver to add a custom form with additional info for tracking. If task 2 only has 1 of the 2 people assigned to it, the rejection issue would automatically add only 1 of the people and it's up to the approver to add the 2. Plus, the task that the issue is tied to wouldn't make sense for the task 1 person. Here's an example of what I described above:
Task 1: Content
Task 2: Design with approval process
If task 2 is rejected, a rejection issue is added and assigned to the creative manager BUT what if it's a content issue. Then the approver has to manually add the content manager.
Has anyone else encountered a similar issue with their project set up? How are you handling it? Thanks! Jennifer Tanabe Director, Project Management Vertical Measures
