How do you track deadlines and dependencies when juggling client work, content work, and dev work together

"Hey everyone I am trying to sort out a cleaner way to manage timelines across different kinds of projects. Some of my work is client facing, some is internal dev work, and some is ongoing content work. Each one has its own deadlines and a different level of priority, and my current setup is starting to fall apart. Excel Gantt charts get messy when predecessors start overlapping. Kanban tools feel great for dev tasks but not so great for long term scheduling."

"And having a separate work calendar for content deadlines also turns into a lot of back and forth. So I am curious how everyone here manages this How do you keep track of dependencies Do you use a single project management tool for everything or separate tools based on the type of work Is there any scheduling tool or Gantt chart software that handles mixed project types without becoming too complicated"

Multiple concurrent project streams include client-facing work, internal development, and ongoing content, each with distinct deadlines and priorities. Existing tools create friction: Excel Gantt charts become cluttered when predecessors overlap, Kanban suits short-term dev flow but lacks long-term scheduling affordances, and a separate content calendar causes duplication and coordination overhead. The main need is a way to track dependencies and priorities across heterogeneous work types without fragmenting visibility. The objective is to find a tool or hybrid process that supports Gantt-like sequencing, Kanban-style execution, and a unified calendar view while remaining simple to maintain.
