Abstract
Systems, methods, and other embodiments are disclosed that are configured to generate and temporally associate task structures in a computerized project plan representing tasks of a project. In one embodiment, a temporally dependent relationship is formed between a successor task structure and a group of predecessor task structures within the computerized project plan, in response to user interaction with a graphical user interface associated with the computerized project plan. The temporally dependent relationship is formed by allowing a temporal event associated with the successor task structure to be recorded within the computerized project plan as having occurred only after a temporal criterion is recorded within the computerized project plan as having been met for a defined number of predecessor task structures in the group. The defined number is less than a total number of predecessor task structures in the group.
