How to Add Dependencies in Microsoft Project

‍

‍

Here’s a clear, step-by-step guide to adding dependencies in Microsoft Project:

‍

1. First, let's open Microsoft Project and navigate to the "Task" tab located in the ribbon at the top of the screen.
2. Now, select the tasks you want to link with dependencies. You can click on a single task or hold down the Ctrl key to select multiple non-adjacent tasks in your project plan.
3. With your tasks selected, click the "Link Tasks" button in the Schedule group.
4. You'll now see arrows connecting your tasks, showing the dependency relationships you've created. This automatically creates a Finish-to-Start dependency, which is the most common type used in project planning.
