Define Activity Dependencies

Explanation

Use this activity to define dependencies between existing activities, which are essential for scheduling calculations. Dependencies establish logical relationships between activities, such as predecessor/successor links, creating an activity network. This network serves as a key input for scheduling calculations performed in tools like the Project Scheduler or Project Gantt. By defining dependencies, you ensure that the project schedule reflects the planned activity sequencing, enhancing accuracy and efficiency in planning. Having an activity network also allows for effective management of changes, as rescheduling will take all dependent activities into account.

In the application, select a dependency to a predecessor or successor from the available options.
