Managing Task Dependencies: Prevening Unintended Schedule Shifts"

For example, I have my project starting on August 28th. I’ve set predecessors for each task. My electrician calls me to say his date will be delayed by two days. I manually enter the dates he gave me into the electrician's task in the schedule.

But unfortunately, this shifts all the previous dates, and if you’re not careful, you might not notice it. Therefore, you need to remember to manually remove the link to avoid this.

I suggest, until a better alternative is found, to launch a dialog box that indicates this change will shift all tasks according to the noted delays. Please choose from the following options: Do you want to continue or remove the links?
