Gantt Chart – Predecessor and Critical Path

Project Planning's Gantt chart allows you to plan project tasks, order of work, and gives
you both detailed and summarized feedback on the impact of scheduled items.
Launched from the toolbar in Project Planning, a project's schedule is displayed in an
interactive Gantt chart. Gantt charts will be discussed in further detail later in this
course.
Predecessors, indicated by their index numbers, are a strategic tool in project
management that allows you to control the timeline of tasks within a project phase. By
employing predecessors, you can synchronize the schedules of a Work Breakdown
Structure (WBS). When the schedule of a predecessor is adjusted, it creates a domino
effect, automatically updating the timelines of all linked tasks.
Unanet AE calculates Critical Path by taking the longest path to the end of the project.
When the Show Critical Path checkbox is selected, the critical path is shown in red.
