Using Github Projects, I've found that whilst this is a useful feature, the place it is most lacking is in giving a clear view of dependencies and how a shift in one tasks's start date or length impacts the project as a whole.
The requirements for a simple MVP of this feature would be:
Requirements
There are a few key features we need if we're going to build this:
[ ] Visual date columns
Ideally days but week blocks also works if this is easier initially
Stick to the top of the page so scrolling is possible
Task features:
[ ] Create new tasks (Github issues)
[ ] Determine length of task
[ ] Determine task start date
[ ] Import new tasks into app
[ ] Assign 'owner' to a task (e.g. Carlos, electricians, etc)
[ ] App displays the name and owner of the task (either displayed underneath or on hover or on click to avoid UI issues for now)
[ ] Edit task start date quickly and easily as this is the thing in the application which is likely to be changed the most
[ ] Make one tasks dependent on the completion of another
[ ] When one task start date or length is changed, the other tasks that are dependent on it move accordingly
Nice to Have's
But we can 'launch' without these:
[ ] Create 'tracks' in app (e.g. Dining room expansion or Swimming pool)
[ ] Allow tasks to be displayed one after the other on the same line when they are linked
