Relationships - Activities Missing Predecessors or Successors Section of the Schedule Check Report Dialog Box

Overview

Use this section to identify activities missing a predecessor, successor, or both. This indicates how well or poorly the schedule is linked together.

Only a subset of all the activities in the open projects are checked. WBS summary activities and activities with an actual finish date are removed to create the list of activities that are checked for missing logic. In the logic check, activities with an actual start or that are Start Milestones pass the predecessor check even if they do not have a predecessor. Finish Milestone activities always pass the successor check even if they do not have a successor. Activities with external predecessors or successors pass the check. Any of the remaining activities that were found to not have a predecessor or successor are then reported in the check. The Actual percentage is calculated as the number of activities found that match the check divided by the number of subset activities checked.
