Add functionality to create dependencies
Add functionality to link tasks with dependencies. One the upper level task is complete the tasks that are dependent on it would become active and notify those task owners.

This will never be done. They want you to shell out extra cash for Microsoft Project.

This would be so helpful! As a Project Manager, I want to be able to stage the upcoming tasks for team members. Dependencies would be a great feature!

Badly needed. Forced to switch to another app if not implemented soon.

This is a badly needed functionality. We are using Wrike because we can't create dependencies in Planner.

This is a feature I love about Trello. I image you can link cards in the attachment section or having a separate 'link card' feature.

This is one of the features that would change the way this allows teams to work.
A dependent task, with a due date and a notification to the assignee (or something on the task that identifies as being a dependent task)
Conversely, the task on which it is dependent should know that there are tasks which cannot be completed until this one is complete. -

Yes, please! Linking, assigning subtasks, including due dates for subtasks would be really useful. As such it is difficult to use Planner to anything more than simple "Do this one thing" tasks.

Not only interdependency between tasks (father-son) but relationships as well, similar to redmine feature

Yes, please! It would be great to allow task to be populated with a due date once a previous task is complete. For example:
- Jack is to send client scheduling email within 48 hours of when Jane sends client the contract -

Yes, Please improve functionality for the "Checklist" on the task.
1) Ability to assign subtasks
2) Include due dates for subtasks
3) make the task completion dependent on the completion of subtasks4) AND please add the progress percentage accomplishment charts based on DONE checklist !!

Yes to all of this (below)! Please improve functionality for the "Checklist" on the task.
"The checklist function is useless. It would be great to update this to subtasks For it to be functional as a project plan.
1) Ability to assign subtasks
2) Include due dates for subtasks
3) make the task completion dependent on the completion of subtasksNot having this function requires the use of other programs to track due dates. In addition having to add multiple tasks so i can assign them and track due dates makes the buckets too big and awkward to use."

There should be main task and possibility to make few subtasks connected with this task that can be assinged to different person. It will be good to see all subtask connected to this main task and when you check subtask to see what is main task.
