Hi, Patricio I believe that you are describing project management tools. Project management tools and task management tools have many similarities. Project management tools are more powerful and take more time to set up and maintain. If you can afford to hire someone to track your time, update every task every day to reflect additional time spent, revise estimated resources per task as needed, and research and code all the inter-task dependencies then you may be ready for a project management tool. Maybe you can do all of that yourself in which case I salute you. I tried it before I found MLO and I found that I was spending more time on managing my projects than I was spending on getting them done. One of the things that a good project management tool will do for you is to identify the critical path, which is to say, out of all of the tasks available for you to work on right now, which is the one that is most holding up other tasks? The idea is that by throwing resources at the tasks on the critical path you can complete your project sooner. Here is a helpful guide to some current project management tools: https://www.pcmag.com/picks/the-best-project-management-software I have not tried any of these tools, my experience was with a prior generation. Maybe today's tools are enough better that what you want to do is feasible with them. But for me, a task management tool is what I need. More powerful is not always better. Managing tasks with a project manager sometimes felt to me like trying to spread jam on my toast using a chain saw. -Dwight On 2/10/2024 2:32 PM, Patricio Carranza
