Every project manager knows that to manage a successful project you need option to stack tasks and milestones and be able to create dependencies between tasks and milestones. I think you get the idea... Can you let us know if this feature is in the making or not? any chance we'll see this in future releases? If you need customer feedback about this feature or other enhancements, we'll be happy to test new products
