Start-to-finish relationship

Please can you explain and provide an example of when the start-to-finish is used?

RE: Start-to-finish relationship

Hi James

Thanks for your question. One example for this involves two tasks sitting an exam and revising for exam.

In this case the exam is in the future but is driving when the revision takes place, so the exam is the predecessor and the revision the successor.

It is the start of the exam that determines when the revision will finish. So the relationship between the tasks is Finish to Start.

I hope this helps - do let us know if you have any further questions.

Kind regards,
Andrew

Ms project tip:

Link tasks using predecessor column - project

a. First, note ID number of the task you want to link to (predecessor). Then, in the predecessor column of the task you want to link to (successor), type the predecessor task's ID number.
b. The link will be a Finish to Start (the default type).
c. Or you can add in a code for a different relationship type
i. SS = Start to Start
ii. FF = Finish to Finish
iii. SF = Start to Finish
d. You don't have to type the task ID numbers in any specific order, but you must separate multiple tasks with commas.
