Project 2016 - Introduction

Lesson – Scheduling Tasks

Project 2016

If you insert a task between two linked tasks that have a lag or lead time, the newly inserted task is not linked.

Lead and lag time are both entered in the same field. Enter lag time as a positive number, including the unit of duration. If you do not enter a unit of duration, the default duration of days is entered. For example, you enter 2d for two days of lag time. Lead time is entered as a negative number. For example, -2d means that the task can start two days before the predecessor task is finished. You can also enter lag and lead time as percentages, such as 50% for lag time and -50% for lead time.
