I’m trying to model basic tasks with cards.
How can I add a property to a card to indicate it needs another card to be completed first?

The tree view seems natural for this, but I can’t get the same card type to exist in a tree.

Anyone know how to model a simple task tree?

Trees are actually a containment model, whereas dependencies are a horizontal relationship.

We have some things in the works to allow people to define dependencies on their project and relate cards accordingly.

In the meantime, what we have seen many people doing is using properties to track card numbers of dependencies.

Thanks for clearing that up Adam.

So, to my Task Cards, I should add a “dependency tasks” property of number list type, then use the MQL to generate reports of the dependencies recursively. How do other people visualize these horizontal dependency trees using this method?

I’m also using Mingle for a personal project and it’s really great for documenting a usability ISO 13407 process.
The dependency modelling is really for my jobs larger projects.

You guys are making releases so regularly, I can’t wait to see the next release.

I have card dependecies like this bold
Card#0:Product Back Log tree | | __Card#1: Develop credit check class | |Card#2: Write source code |__Card#3: Write jUnit

Card#4:Sprint 1 bold
I want to move Card#1(including 2 and 3) as a complete sub tree from the product backlog tree(Card#0) to the sprint tree(Card#4).
Could I setup this in Mingle or I will have to move each card separately?
