This feature is available only in Project KickStart Professional.

If you are using Project KickStart Pro, you can use the Task Information dialog box to change the following task details:

• Predecessor for a linked task
• Lead time for a linked task

To change task details using the Task Information dialog box:

1. Right-click a task and then click Task Information on the shortcut menu, or click a task and then click the Edit Task Information button .

2. Click the Predecessors tab, and then change the task details about predecessors and lead time.

Predecessors tab: The Task Properties section shows the name of the selected task, which you can change. The Predecessor (Finish-to-Start) section shows the tasks that are predecessors to the selected task. A predecessor task must be finished before you start the current task.

You can change the ID, name, or lead time of the predecessor task. Also, you can also add additional other predecessors.

The lead time is the amount of time you need to wait after finishing the predecessor task before so you can start the current task. Lead time can be positive or negative.

Note

• In some programs, the is time shift is called “lag time”. But we think that the term “lead time” is more accurate and descriptive since it’s the amount of time you want to allow before you start a task.
