Step 2: Sequence the tasks in the Task List. Tasks 6 and 7 are the follow-up events from the training and are sequenced with the default finish-to-start dependency type. The start of task 2 drives the completion date of task 1 due to the time required to communicate/negotiate the logistical needs of the training event. In this model tasks 2 and 3 may occur concurrently and so a start-to-start relationship is utilized. This relationship is also start-to-finish. The finish date for task 3 depends on the start date of task 5 and needs seven days of time for the material to actually be shipped and received. The relationship between the two tasks is start-to-finish. The start date of task 5 determines the finish date of task 4.
It is also the only task constrained to a specific date. It is the mid-point driver and is the key to understanding the model. Model DescriptionĪlong with the sequencing and lead times, the start date and duration of task number 5, “Train Participants,” drives all task dates. Thus the project as a unit can be moved in the timeline. Adjustments to the training event start date will change the dates of every other task in the project, but keep the project task sequence and any imposed lead times intact in the schedule. What precedes the training event may be logistical tasks that have a date related dependency with the start of the event, such as “material shipping,” “travel arrangements” and “travel.” What follows the training event will certainly have a date related dependency with the finish of the event, such as “travel home” and “invoicing.” The start and finish dates of the project and all tasks are therefore determined by the training event start date and duration. For example, the following training event project model is driven by a task within its project task list. Not every project schedule has a clear beginning with an obvious first task or milestone start date.
