EWM - Plan Item Predecessors
Hi All,
I have a WBS with plan items (as summary tasks) and execution items (as normal child tasks of the summary task).
Creating predecessor links between execution items works as expected... one task starts after the predecessor finishes.
However, if I try to create a predecessor link between plan items, the scheduler seems to completely ignore it.
Is this intended behaviour?
I'm using the traditional project management scheduler.
Doing the same thing in MS Project moves the summary task to start after it's predecessor and applies to all its child tasks as well.

Dashboards and work items are no longer publicly available, so some links may be invalid. We now provide similar information through other means. Learn more here.

I've noted that it seems to apply to any parent task, whether its a plan item or execution item. If you link two parent tasks together, the planner ignores their child tasks.
I don't know how this is supposed to work. As far as I am aware, Successor and Predecessor links are only supported in the traditional/formal planning process and the GANT planning always felt underwhelming.
Hi Ralph,
My experience with the formal scheduler are limited and way in the past, but I am not surprised you find limitations in the formal planning, Glyn.
