Claim 8:
9. A client device communicably coupled to a host service of a project management system, the client device comprising:
a processor;
a communication interface;
an input device;
a display device; and
a memory storing instructions, which when executed by the processor, cause the processor to instantiate an instance of a project management client application configured to:
communicably couple to the host service, via the communication interface;
display, on the display device, a scheduling interface including a first work item user interface element corresponding to a first work item and a second work item user interface element corresponding to a second work item, the first work item user interface element having a first dependency control disposed at or near a right end thereof and the second work item user interface element having a second dependency control disposed at or near a left end thereof;
detect, with the input device, a create dependency interaction comprising:
a first user input selecting the first dependency control of the first work item user interface element; and
a second user input tracing a path from one of the first dependency control or the first work item user interface element to a position at or near one of the second work item user interface element or the second dependency control of the second work item user interface element;

in response to detecting the create dependency user interaction, create and transmit a signal to the host service to cause the host service to create a dependency relationship between the first and second work items; 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, cause 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.
