task having 2 Predecessors

[Vijay]

Hi,

How can I represent a dependency in MSP where a task has 2 predecessors and
if either one completes I want to start the successor task.
Thanks
Vijay

Hi Vijay,

Sorry, that's not how Project functions. If you create a task with
two predecessors it is whatever predecessor finishes last that will
drive the start of the successor task.

You can leave both tasks in and once you determine which path to
take, either remove the other task or set its duration to zero.

I hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.
