Cannot sequence build of entire project #348

Without gantt chart capabilities its not possible to properly manage the sequence of dependencies. Nor can one see the critical path. This severely limits the usefulness of ACORN. I find myself having to put everything into a Gantt chart so that i know what the dependencies are, and can plan resources and schedule accordingly. I would rather not use two tools with 80% overlapping features.

Interesting! @pegahvaezi

exactly timeline/gantt chart view is what I've been pushing for since day 1 for acorn. feedback like yours helps us make a stronger case for this feature and push it up the list for design and development.

Absolutely.. At present we can see some dependencies through the hierarchical tree but cannot make one group of activities dependent upon another. It would be awesome to be able to highlight each hierarchical tree and make them groups (Or I suppose you could just use the entry points) then link the groups together in the same way that cards / tasks are linked together currently. --> So if we could make entry point relationships it would be awesome! This would tell us all the dependencies and and allow for proper scheduling and make a gantt view possible. I also think linked entry point trees would look awesome.
