Task Dependencies in Microsoft Project

98% of Microsoft Project users have never tried to completely understand the dependency types. In this video I'll show you how the work and give you some tips on how to try them out yourself.

If you prefer the blog article, here's the step by step and explanation

Thank you for a very clear and easy to follow explanation! 🙏

Great video, nicely explained. I have a question. Is it possible to to set a dependency mid way through a task or at the end of the first section of a split task. i.e. The plumbing takes 6 weeks but the electrics can only start two weeks after the start of the plumbing so the electrics are dependent on the first two weeks of the plumbing being completed. Thanks in anticipation.

Love your videos, Dale. Is there a way you can view a specific dependency chain clearly? I know you can get the tasks in a chain to highlight.. But say for example you have a master project, with multiple sub projects. There are over 7k tasks in the whole project. Is there a way you can pick one task, and easily view the whole dependency chain for that item without it keeping the noise of all the other tasks?
Appreciate every thing you do, Dale!

Just one question does the lead & lag in tasks impact trying to identify the critical path? Excellent video as always thanks.
