Task Dependencies

What are the four different types of task dependency?

RE: Task Dependencies

Hi Lisa

Thank you for your question.

Each task dependency comprises a "predecessor" and "successor" task. The start or the finish of the "successor" task can be driven by either the start or finish of the "predecessor" task.

As a result the types of task dependency are

Start to start
Start to finish
Finish to start
Finish to finish

Hope this is useful

Regards

Stephen

MS Project tip:

Set default task type - Project 2010

a. In Project, click on the File tab
b. Select Options from left hand side
c. Click on Schedule to set the scheduling options
d. Set the Default Task type box to your chosen option
i. Generally if you plan/estimate your projects using durations you should use fixed duration, and untick the box New tasks are effort driven, if you plan/estimate with person hours use fixed work, or for plans estimated with the proportion of resources time use fixed units, and untick the box New tasks are effort driven)
e. Click OK to apply your changes
