Adding an External Dependency

This article covers adding an external dependency between two Plan Gantt work items:

 

Open the Plan Gantt board where you want to create the External Dependency *From*.  Once the board is open, right click on the work item that you want the external dependency to originate.

Click on External Dependency in the menu.

The Project Dependency Plan Gantt (PDG) board will open with the project selected shown under an activity group named after the project.  The Work Item that was selected for the external dependency will be highlighted in Red & Yellow.

The selected projects will be shown under an activity group named after the projects below the current PDG listed projects.

Multiple PDG Projects

To create the External Dependency, simply create a dependency from a Work Item in one Project to a Work Item in another Project that is shown on the PDG board.

PDG Create External Dependency

Once created, the External Dependency will show both Work Items linked and they will be highlighted in Blue, which designates an External Dependency.
