Last Modified On: October 5, 2025

The Predecessor & Successor Lightning Web Component makes it easy to view a task’s predecessors and successors, providing important information such as their status, whether they are overdue, and who they are assigned to. This gives project team members greater visibility into task dependencies and helps them quickly identify tasks that may impact the schedule or require attention.
 

The component can be customized to display additional task information that is relevant to your organization and project management processes.
