Formal Project Management RTC v3

Your screen shot was clipped at a point which might be interesting ...
the red-outlined item is a predecessor of another item (off the screen)
.... what is the state of that off-screen item?

Cheers,
Geoff

Hi,
I'm trying RTC v3 Formal Management Process.
I planned two tasks WorkItems (let's say A and B).
Both of them have been set as ASAP Constraint Type.
A is the predecessor of B.
A is Closed (and Fixed).
If I StartWork on B (set as Work In Progress State) I catch the
following warning: Work item is started before its predecessor work
item is complete (see the image below).

How to avoid this warning ?

Thanks in advance,
Marco

Still shows up as clipped when I view it.
Note that I'm interested in the third line (i.e. the line below the one
with the red mark and error message).

Geoff,
the error message is about its predecessor (NOT about the successor).

Understood about what the error message said.
I did have some issues with pre-release versions of those features where
the error message was wrong/misleading, and just wanted to make sure
that wasn't the case here.

Unfortunately, the full screenshot did not show me anything that looked
wrong, so I don't have any ideas on what might be happening here.
You'll probably want to engage with Rational support on this one.

Here are some things to play with:
- Try removing that predecessor dependency, and verify this fixes the
error message.
- Try transitioning the predecessor to some other "complete" state
(perhaps a "validated" state?).
- Try re-opening the predecessor, and then completing it again (in case
there is some stale cached state in the web server).
- Refresh your browser page between each operation.
- Look at those other errors on that page ... are they the same message?

Cheers,
Geoff
