How To Manage Dependencies In Simulation?
To add dependencies for a work item, follow the steps mentioned below:
- Click on “Hamburger” icon.
- Click on Digital projects and click on Timeline.
- In timeline, click on Simulation.
- Now, under dependencies, click over a desired task to add a suitable dependency.
Note
Simulation allows link items to create dependencies for a task. The following are the dependencies in KTern.
- Finish - to – Start (FS) (default) - Task 1 must finish before Task 2 can start. E.g., 1.1.1FS
- Start - to – Start (SS)- Task 1 and Task 2 must start at the same time. Eg.1.1.1SS
- Finish - to – Finish (FF)- Task 1 and Task 2 must finish at the same time. Eg.1.1.1FF
- Start - to – Finish (SF) - Task 2 cannot finish until the start of Task 1. Eg.1.1.1SF
Multiple Dependencies - You can add multiple dependencies to a task item by comma separated values. Eg.1.1.1SS,1.1.2FS
Add Lead / Lag - You can add lead / lag by specifying the day count.- Lead - Lead time is the amount of time whereby a successor activity can be advanced with respect to a predecessor activity.
E.g., 1.1.1FS-1 - Lag - A lag time is the amount of time whereby a successor activity is required to be delayed with respect to a predecessor activity.
Eg.1.1.1FS+1
To visually see the relation among tasks, use Gantt View.
