Adding delays or overlaps between dependent tasks in GanttPRO
Hello! I'm working on an office renovation project in which some tasks require a waiting period before the next one can begin. Often, for example, we need to allow time for materials to dry before moving on to the next construction stage. In a different scenario, as some activities can run in parallel, the next task should start before the previous one is fully completed.
How can I add delays or overlaps between dependent tasks in GanttPRO without breaking the existing dependencies? Will these adjustments still work with Auto Scheduling enabled? Thanks!

Hi! You can manage this using lag and lead time in GanttPRO :)
Click on the dependency line connecting two tasks. In the dependency settings, you'll find the option to set the required lag or lead time.
Lag (+): adds a delay between dependent tasks. For example, +2 days creates a two-day gap.
Lead (-): creates an overlap, allowing the following task to begin before the preceding task finishes.
These settings also work with Auto Scheduling enabled. If connected tasks move on the timeline, GanttPRO preserves the configured lag or lead time.
The time units depend on the Duration step configured for your project.
Hope this helps!
