Timing and predecessors

Tasks have an expected start time and an expected duration.

  • Their start can depend on the fixed setting of the date and time when they are to be switched from the Planned state to the Ready state (i.e. they can be started by the Executor).
    The start can be and usually is also relative to the start of the plan, so it is a planned offset from the start of the whole plan.
  • However, the most common is a dependency on the previous task (predecessor) or more tasks, which must be in the Finished (or Workarounded) state in order for it to be switched to the Ready state and then started by the Executor.

It is common for many planned activities that the whole plan is branched out by the dependencies between completing and starting the related tasks.
