Dependency Saves Time???

[Kynthia Melissa]

Hi there,

I want to know How Dependencies save you time when planning and managing your Gantt chart. I searched about it but, those were confusing, so I want expert's advice and answers.

I appreciate any suggestion. Thanks in advance.

Kynthia - what exactly does your question mean ?

The main idea behind a gantt chart is to find the "critical path" (correct me if I am wrong). By analyzing dependencies, you are looking to see whose waiting for some other task to be finished before it can begin. These are always potential losses of time - but at the end of the day only if its on the critical path, which is the task that finishes last, with all its dependencies before it.
