What is a predecessor?

RE: Predesessor

Hi Angela,

Occasionally you may choose Project to calculate a schedule a slightly differently than it would do naturally based on what has happened before.

This code takes the predecessors of a selected tasks and figures out which is the one which will finish first. Then it applies negative lag to the dependencies between itself and the other predecessors.

Hope that makes sense

Tracy

MS Project tip:

Link tasks using predecessor column - project

a. First, note ID number of the task you want to link to (predecessor). Then, in the predecessor column of the task you want to link to (successor), type the predecessor task's ID number.
b. The link will be a Finish to Start (the default type).
c. Or you can add in a code for a different relationship type
i. SS = Start to Start
ii. FF = Finish to Finish
iii. SF = Start to Finish
d. You don't have to type the task ID numbers in any specific order, but you must separate multiple tasks with commas.
