What does the term predessesors mean?

RE: Predessesors

Hi Ranveet,

Thank you for your question.

In terms of MS Project, the term Predecessor is a term used to describe the task that needs to be completed before the next task begins.

e.g. if you had two tasks, task 1 being paint room and the second task being lay carpets, the logical order of the tasks would be to paint the room first and then lay carpets so no paint gets on the carpet.

In this example, Paint room would be the Predecessor task and Lay Carpets would be the Successor task as it can't begin until the Paint room task is complete.

I hope this helps.

Regards

Simon

MS Project tip:

Formatting Bar Text

To display notes or resource initials on the Gantt chart bars, choose Format, Bar Styles and the Text tab. Select the position you want to show the text i.e. Top or Inside etc, then choose the field name you are looking for from the drop down arrow. Type the first letter of the name to get quickly to the top of the letter range. Click OK.
