Automatic Scheduling

By default, Gantt will auto-schedule tasks based on your project start date, task estimates, predecessors and dependency types. If you are working from a brand new structure and haven't yet set up dependencies or Start and Finish dates, chances are your Gantt Chart looks something like this:

Tasks automatically scheduled based on project start

As you create dependencies between items, your chart will automatically update so that successor tasks do not start until their predecessor is complete (or until the predecessor is estimated to be complete).

Tasks automatically scheduled based on dependencies

As you move items around in your structure or change dependencies, your tasks will move within your timeline as well.

The example above illustrates Finish-to-Start dependencies. You can also configure Start-to-Start, Finish-to-Finish and Finish-to-Start dependencies, and Gantt will schedule them accordingly.
