Lead Time

When the first activity is still running and second activity starts, this is called Lead, and the balance of time for the first activity is known as Lead Time. Lead Time is the overlap between the first and second activity.

Lag Time

When first activity completes, if there is then a delay or wait period before the second activity starts, this is called lag and the delay is known as the Lag Time. Lag Time is the delay between the first and second activity.
