    Task Dependencies

    One of the most reliable methods for scheduling tasks is toestablish relationships between them, that is, taskdependencies.

    Task dependencies reflect how later tasks, or successors,depend on the finish or start of earlier tasks, orpredecessors.

    13/20

    Cont Finish to Start means that predecessors finishes before the

    next task begins.

    Lag time creates delay.(ex : you want a gap of 1d afterfinishing task 3)

    Lead time creates an overlap. (..the last 2 days of task 6and the first 2d of task 7 overlap)
