Must Start On Dependencies

The must start on dependency indicates that an activity must start at a specific point in time. You can apply these dependencies to milestones that denote the start of such activities; in normal circumstances, when the execution plan is running on schedule, these are used to schedule activities at the right time, by releasing the relevant milestones. However, if it is predicted that it is not possible to release a milestone at the scheduled time, or if that time is reached and the milestone still cannot be released, the Jeopardy Management System recognizes the jeopardy condition.

Predictions are calculated during jeopardy detection cycle. Frequency of Jeopardy detection cycle is configurable.
