Hello,

It's quite possible that I don't know enough about gantt charts and 
that's what has led to my dilemma but here goes.

I'm currently trying to visualize how long our next project will take. 
I've broken the project down into about twenty tasks that I've entered 
in to Planner. For the most part, these tasks don't depend on each 
other; they could be done in any order. The only catch is that they 
can't be done at the same time (we have a small staff working on this 
project and they'll basically be taking a task, doing it and then taking 
another task).

Here's an example to maybe make this more clear:
Task 1 for Resource A - 4d
Task 2 for Resource A - 1d

In this case, I'd want planner to represent that these two tasks would 
take 5 days total. I can't figure out a way to achieve this without 
saying that task one is a predecessor for task 2 or vice versa.

Any insight into this is appreciated in advance.

Thanks,

Jonathan Campbell
