You can create finish-start dependency chains between two or more tasks in the WBS using the Link button on the Project: Tasks: Work Breakdown Structure page. Project tasks are linked using their relative position in the hierarchy. For example, a chain is created from Task 1 to Task 2, and from Task 2 to Task 3.
After you create a dependency, you can move tasks without affecting the dependency. You cannot create dependencies to and from summary tasks or tasks that are in a subproject.
After establishing the dependency links, you can click Gantt to open a new Gantt chart and see the dependencies between the tasks in a graphical format.
You can also click Autoschedule from the toolbar to see the results of linking the tasks on your project schedule.
