Dependency
What are Dependencies?
Gantt chart dependencies refer to the relationships between tasks in a project schedule. These dependencies determine the order in which tasks must be completed, and often dictate the start and end dates of each task. ProScheduler supports four main types of task dependencies: finish-to-start (FS), start-to-start (SS), finish-to-finish (FF), and start-to-finish (SF).
Understanding and correctly defining task dependencies is crucial for ensuring the overall success of a project
Finish-to-Start (FS): This is the most common type of task dependency. In a finish-to-start relationship, the completion of one task is a prerequisite for starting another task. For example, "painting the walls" must be finished before "hanging pictures".
Start-to-Start (SS): In a start-to-start relationship, both tasks start simultaneously. For example, "digging the foundation" and "laying the pipes" can start at the same time.
Finish-to-Finish (FF): In a finish-to-finish relationship, both tasks must be completed at the same time. For example, "writing the report" and "designing the cover page" must be finished at the same time.
Start-to-Finish (SF): In a start-to-finish relationship, the start of one task determines the finish date of another task. For example, "installing software" starts and "training employees" finishes.
Dependencies on ProScheduler Gantt are maintained by Issue Links. On the Gantt area, connect the dots on the bars to create proper dependencies
Mapping dependencies with Issue Links
Mapping Gantt/Timeline dependencies with Issue Links.
The new Gantt/Timeline view allows you to visually map out dependencies between tasks. This feature is seamlessly integrated with Issue Links.
Auto Scheduling
Global configuration for WBS Gantt feature, the board-level configuration can be found an Board settings
To access go to Apps → Teamboard ProScheduler → Settings → Gantt
Auto scheduling: when enabled the plan will be automatically re-calculated when changing children task or dependencies
Auto-scheduling doesn’t take effect on tasks which have multiple plans and assignee
Support adjusting the lag time in the Gantt chart
Support adjusting the lag time between tasks directly in the Gantt chart when auto-scheduling is ON.
When auto-scheduling is enabled, changes in lag time are automatically applied across linked tasks to maintain accurate schedules.
Click on a dependency link, and then add lag time to it
Troubleshooting Tips:
If changes aren't reflected, ensure that auto-scheduling is enabled.
Verify that the tasks are properly linked via dependencies.
Refresh the Gantt chart to apply any pending updates.
