Add lag to planning elements

In certain instances, you may want to include some buffer to account for delays or external factors that affect your project. In this case, you can add lag in your project plan. Lag times can also serve as a kind of time constraint between planning elements.

1. Open the dependency editor by double-clicking on one of the connecting lines between two planning elements.

2. There you either find the existing relationship(s) to other planning elements. Under Lag, you can now enter the days, hours or minutes that you would like to set as a buffer. As you enter or change the value here, you can observe the effects dynamically and in real time in the Gantt chart and see how the bars shift accordingly.

3. Click on Save.

Info You can also set lead times, e.g. if the subsequent planning element can start 1 day before the end of the previous one. To do this, simply enter a minus sign before the lag.
