Hi, I was initially very excited to discover a todo-list with support
for task dependencies.
However, while I've been evaluating the product, it is apparent that
task dependencies have no bearing on computed score.
I was hoping to use MLO to help prioritise a large todo list, but this
all falls apart if priority cannot affect dependent tasks.
Am I wrong? Does anyone else expect task dependencies to influence
task ordering in the todo list?
e.g. if I add the following tasks (no fancy options, all as default)
task 1
task 2
task 3 - urgency: max - depends on 'task 2'
The computed scores are:
task1: 1.0
task2: 1.0
task3: 1.00356...
in the todo list, I see:
task 1
task 2
which is surprising: task 1 is ranked above task2, even though we need
to do task 2 before we can do the really urgent "task 3"!
This means that MLO can't really help me prioritise tasks that are
blocking critical projects or tasks. I'd have to manually walk through
dependency links, tweaking urgency sliders to make blocking tasks more
important.
I would expect the score computation of any task to be something like:
finalScore = max(myScore, scores of all dependent tasks)
so for task 2, this would now be: max(1.0, 1.00356)
and therefore task 2 would now be ranked higher than task 1.
Any comments?
Thanks
Dan
