PERT [1] is a good technique, especially for parallel tasks, depending somewhat on how complex (how many) tasks need to be done. It is like a Gantt chart but IMHO better displays the data and dependencies and allows for additional information or referencing within the items. One of its downfalls can be when things change on the fly, but it should be possible for a software implementation to fix that. I'm not aware of any software implementations, but I'd be surprised if there aren't any. Many applications need multiple tasks completed in convoluted series/ parallel. The automation industry does a lot of this kind of stuff for one, I am sure there are others. If not, it should be reasonably easy to make such a thing..
