I have a bunch of tasks that I want to start as soon as possible, then they all need to wait until after a dependency finishes, then they have another 3 days of effort left.

Any ideas how to plan for this up front? I know how to split tasks, but how do I get the first part to start ASAP (no dependencies) and the second part to start after the dependency finishes and take 3 more days?

One of the reasons I don't want to show it as two separate tasks linked with a dependency is that I want to assign the resource from a pool of 4 developers and I want the program to auto level. Of course the same developer needs to work on both parts of the task.

Thanks,
Mike
