FAQ: Scheduling

How do I make my predecessor start X days before/after another task ends?

To add a delay or overlap to an existing predecessor, append a + or - sign and the number of additional days to the existing predecessor relationship. For example, let's say you want to add a 2-day delay to task 2, whose start is dependent on the completion of task 1. You would update the existing predecessor format of 1fs to be 1fs + 2, which would account for the extra 2-day delay.
