React Gantt Chart dependency types

Define dependency types

Dependency types define how predecessor and successor tasks relate to each other in a project schedule. They help maintain accurate task sequencing and scheduling logic across dependent work items. Use this option when projects require clear predecessor-successor relationships.

React Gantt Chart dependency offsets

Manage dependency offsets

Lead and lag offsets add planned overlap or delay between dependent tasks while preserving their scheduling relationship. Offset preservation helps maintain existing dependency timing when project schedules are updated. Use this option when dependency timing must remain consistent throughout schedule revisions.

Frequently Asked Questions

The React Gantt Chart supports finish-to-start, start-to-start, finish-to-finish, and start-to-finish task relationships. These dependency types help represent common sequencing patterns and maintain accurate task ordering across project timelines.

Lead and lag offsets are useful when tasks require planned overlap or delays instead of immediate handoff. Use lead for tasks that can run in parallel, and lag for tasks requiring setup time, cooling periods, or other waiting intervals.

Task dependencies define the relationships between related activities and establish the order in which work should occur. They help teams coordinate project execution, maintain scheduling accuracy, and manage interconnected tasks more effectively.

Lead allows a successor task to start before a predecessor finishes, creating overlap between tasks. Lag introduces a waiting period after a predecessor completes before the successor can start. Both preserve the dependency relationship while adjusting timing.

Yes. Task dependencies can be created, modified, or removed as project requirements change. This allows teams to adjust task relationships and offsets throughout the project lifecycle while maintaining accurate scheduling.

Dependency offsets can be preserved when tasks are edited, allowing existing lead and lag values to remain unchanged. This helps maintain planned timing relationships and supports manual control over dependency adjustments.
