Hover over Projects in the left navigation, and select your project.Start to Finish ( SF)-The predecessor begins before the successor can end.ĭependencies can be managed from the Local Gantt in both the Tasks list and the Schedule.Finish to Finish ( FF)-The predecessor ends before the successor can end.Start to Start ( SS)-The predecessor begins before the successor can begin.Finish to Start ( FS)-The predecessor ends before the successor can begin.Before you begin establishing dependencies, it’s important to understand that there are four types: Tasks may have multiple predecessors or multiple successors. The successor, by contrast , is the task whose start or end date is controlled by the predecessor.Ī dependency is the relationship between predecessor and successor tasks. There are two steps to creating a dependency-first, identify the predecessor and successor tasks and then establish a relationship between them.īy definition, the predecessor is the first task it controls the start or end date for all related successor tasks. In the Local Gantt chart, dependencies allow you to define relationships between tasks and visualize the sequence in which they must be completed in order to close a project.
