Abstract: Abstract This survey aims to demonstrate that the structure of precedence constraints plays a tremendous role on the complexity of scheduling problems. Indeed, many problems can be $$\mathcal {NP}$$ NP -hard when considering general precedence constraints, while they become polynomially solvable for particular precedence constraints. Additionally, the existence of many very exciting challenges in this research area is underlined.
