How Efforts affect Due dates

To understand dependent and non-dependent tasks better, refer to this help article.

• For a non-dependent task:

  • If the due date is set to 22/09/2025 and Effort is 2 days, the due date will update to 24/09/2025.

• For a dependent task:

  • Task A has a due date of 22/09/2025 with Effort of 2 days, so its new due date is 24/09/2025.

  • Task B depends on Task A and no due date is set for Task B. Task B requires an Effort of 3 days.

  • In this case, Task B’s due date will be updated to 27/09/2025.
