To have a good calculation of the schedule, it is necessary to enter predecessors and successors to all tasks except the first one which should never have a predecessor, and the last one which should not have any successor.

 

It is necessary to enter only technical links and not arbitrary sequences. 

 

 

 

It must be ensured that each task has a successor with an FS link (Finish to Start), to allow a good calculation of the network. The preferred links are FS - x days rather than SS + x days or FF.

This becomes important when actual dates are entered in the updates.

 

Summary tasks should not have any links, this will create a faulty calculation.
