RE: Project

Hi Wendy

Lag represents a delay between the successor and its predecessor, usually in working days. You can add Lag by double clicking on an arrow between two tasks or by clicking on a successor task in the task list and going to the predecessor tab.

I hope this helps - please let us know if you have any further questions.

Kind regards,
Andrew

Ms project tip:

Link tasks using predecessor column - project

a. First, note ID number of the task you want to link to (predecessor). Then, in the predecessor column of the task you want to link to (successor), type the predecessor task's ID number.
b. The link will be a Finish to Start (the default type).
c. Or you can add in a code for a different relationship type
i. SS = Start to Start
ii. FF = Finish to Finish
iii. SF = Start to Finish
d. You don't have to type the task ID numbers in any specific order, but you must separate multiple tasks with commas.
