Linking Project tasks can help you save time as you manage your project. After you define your project's tasks and estimate how long they will take, you are ready to link them.

Linking tasks creates a plan based on sequence and dependencies, regardless of specific dates. A plan like this can easily adjust to schedule changes while preserving the relationships between tasks. If the start date, duration, or finish date of one task changes, Project automatically reschedules all related tasks. Linking makes your plan more flexible and more reliable.

This course assumes that you already know how to create tasks and assign durations. See the Project Guide in Project 2007 for step-by-step help with defining your tasks, assigning durations, and linking tasks.
