Dependencies are links between project activities, which can be used to sequence tasks in time and in a logical order. Dependencies are also used to create relationships between tasks or other project elements that are dependent on each other. When you use dependencies to create an activity sequence and schedule for your project, you create a project that is not bound by specific dates and can easily accommodate changes in schedule.To create dependencies:
The advantage of having a schedule based on dependencies is that any changes to the work breakdown structure, or in duration, are automatically adjusted by the dependencies, and no manual refactoring is required. For example, if you change the duration of a task to 3 days from 1 day, the ensuing project schedule is automatically adjusted as the dependent tasks are moved out to accommodate the change.
This lesson marks the end of the tutorial; you now have a project structure ready, and can assign resources to work on the project tasks.
