Including all activities that must be accomplished to deliver each
work package
Kinds of predecessors:
- Finish-to-start: first activity needs to be finished before next
one can start
- Start-to-finish: first an activity needs to start before the activity
can finish
- Finish-to-finish: both activities need to end together.
- Start-to-start: both activities need to begin at the same
moment.
- External predecessors: depends on things outside your project
- Discretionary predecessors: if you want
- Mandatory predecessors: have to exist because of the nature
of the work
Leads/ Lags
- Lag time = put a delay
- Lead time = give successor task some time to get started
before predecessor finishes
o Milestones

Some can be significant points -> keep track of
Milestone list -> let know which are required an which not
