Precedence Relationship

An ordering link between two activities in the precedence diagramming method that shows how one activity depends on another.

Key Points

  • Represents how activities are connected in PDM using FS, SS, FF, or SF links.
  • Controls the sequence of work and may include leads or lags.
  • Displayed as connectors between activity nodes in a schedule network diagram.
  • Choosing the wrong relationship can distort timelines and create infeasible schedules.

Example

In a software project, "Complete design" must finish before "Start development" can begin (Finish-to-Start with zero lag). "Begin system testing" may start two days after "Start integration" (Start-to-Start with a 2-day lag). These links are precedence relationships in the PDM network.
