Thanks for the detailed answer. Would you mind talking a little bit more about the dependencies? What do you mean by a dependency? Is that like another task that needs to be finished before the current one? What is the relation with priority?

Yep. Dependency: a task that needs to be finished before the current one. A dependent task is always lower priority than its required task.

Dependency and priority are both levers to be able to choose the right task to do (perhaps adding an importance level?)

A task that depends on unfinished ones cannot be proposed by the system. Between two possible tasks, the priority one will be presented first (or perhaps a computation with priority, importance and duration?)
