1. A method for modifying a graphical user interface of a client device communicably coupled to a project management host service, the method comprising:
displaying, at a user interface of the client device defined at least in part by a client application communicably coupled to the project management host service, a scheduling interface comprising:
a first work item user interface element corresponding to a first work item and having a first dependency control disposed at or near a right end thereof; and
a second work item user interface element corresponding to a second work item and having a second dependency control disposed at or near a left end thereof;

receiving, by the graphical user interface, a first user input selecting the first dependency control of the first work item user interface element;
receiving, by the graphical user interface after the first user input, a second user input tracing a path from first work item user interface element or the first dependency control to a position at or near the second work item user interface element or the second dependency control of the second work item user interface element;
in response to a termination of the second user input,
sending a signal from the client device to the host service to cause the host service to create a dependency relationship between the first work item and the second work item; and
in response to a user input provided with respect to one of the first work item interface element or the second work item interface element, causing display of a dependency pane overlaying the respective first work item interface element or second work item interface element, the dependency pane comprising:
(i) a first graphical element displaying information on the first work item on the dependency pane;
(ii) a second graphical element displaying information on the second work item on the dependency pane; and
(iii) a dependency selector selectable to enable a user modification to the dependency relationship from the dependency pane.
