The initial post was about Project for the Web, which is a web-based project management tool, and the response from ZsofiH seemed to be related to that. However, the reply you received is talking about Project Online and Microsoft Project Professional, which are separate tools.
Here's the breakdown:
Project for the Web: This is a web-based project management tool that may not have all the advanced features of Microsoft Project Professional. It can be used for managing task dependencies, but the features and interface can change over time. For the most accurate information, you should refer to the most current documentation or consult your organization's administrator.
Project Online and Microsoft Project Professional: These are desktop and web-based project management tools from Microsoft. To use them together, you need to connect your desktop app (Microsoft Project Professional) to your Project Online system. Once connected, you can perform task, resource, and assignment planning in Microsoft Project and then publish your project to Project Online. This setup provides more advanced features, including various dependency types, Lag time, and Lead time.
In summary, if you're using Project for the Web, the first response is relevant. If you're working with Project Online and Microsoft Project Professional, the second response provides guidance on how to set up and use those tools. It's important to use the correct tool based on your project management needs and the capabilities your organization provides.
