Adding work breakdown dependencies
You can specify the mutual dependencies between WBS items, by indicating which WBS item precedes or succeeds the selected WBS item.
 | A WBS item cannot be dependent on any of its WBS subitems, nor can any of the WBS subitems be dependent on the summary WBS item. Within a series of dependencies between WBS (sub) items, a successor cannot simultaneously be a predecessor. |
