About the framework

Learn task dependencies with a website redesign

Planning contains Requirements gathering and Stakeholder approval. Design adds Wireframes, Visual mockups, and a Design review milestone. Development includes Frontend build, Backend integration, Testing, and a Launch milestone. There are seven duration-based tasks and two zero-duration milestones.

Frontend and backend work both follow Visual mockups, so they can overlap. Testing follows Backend integration, and Launch follows Testing. The sample durations span 43 calendar days from the March 1, 2025 start, a little over six weeks; no weekend exclusions are specified.

This example is useful for tracing one task into the next and comparing overlapping work. For a real redesign, replace the estimates and make design approval and completion of both build tasks explicit prerequisites where your process requires them.
