That's what I did to. But my checkboxes lists had been very small steps. Projects were large collection of very small tasks. Dependencies weren't that complicated. The work I've moved into, projects don't have many steps, but there are many more projects in flight with a lot of dependencies, hard deadlines and starting a project can be gated by arrival of hardware, or availability of people who are too busy to write docs. In any case, that part of the beauty of org. It has several tools for organizing and tracking info. You can put them together in a lot of different and useful ways. The list of tools keep growing and Carsten does an excellent job of keeping things consistent, easy to use and independent. It's rare that you have to learn a multiple features just to use the one you want. Yet the all interact well. You can learn it a piece at a time. I've been dying to see dependency ordering added to that list. Sounds like there is some use for dependency based triggering. They both could be cool, but so far I'm not really attached to any of the suggested implementations yet.
