Learn/How To - Create New Start to Start Task in MS Project 2013

Addition of task is very important as it lays the foundation for any project. A Project is basically a plan to execute and achieve a predefined objective.

There are 4 types of  Tasks in the MS Project 2013 tool, here we can add our task by our requirement.

These are
  1. Finish to Start  (http://saxenablogs.blogspot.com/2015/05/learnhow-to-create-new-finish-to-start.html)
  2. Start to Start
  3. Start to Finish
  4. Finish to Finish
Today let us see the start to start which means we can start second task without waiting for our first task is getting finished.



Here at the moment in our sample plan in MS Project 2013 tool is having 5 different activities or Task allocated on one summary task.

Now in order to create a Start to Start relationship just enter dependency in each of the task 3 onwards till task 5. The advantage of MS Project 2013 tool is as soon as we enter the values in dependency column the tool automatically updates the entire Gantt chart as shown on the right part of the screen or tool.
