What is a start to finish relationship?

MS Project - task relationships

Hi Gemma

Thanks for your question. A Start to Finish relationship is where Task B cannot finish until Task A starts. In my experience, it is a relationship that is not commonly used.

Normally, we can't start Task B until Task A finishes, the common Finish-to-Start relationship. This is the other way round: Task B cannot finish until Task A starts.

A Start to Finish relationship can be used for just-in-time scheduling up to the project finish date in order to minimize the risk of a task finishing late, if its dependent tasks slip.

Does that answer your question, Gemma? If so, please mark the question as resolved. If you require further assistance, please reply to this post. Thanks.

Regards

Thia

MS Project tip:

Autofit column width – Project (all versions)

At the top of the columns where each column name is located (Task Name, Duration, etc.), hover over the vertical column line which you want to move.

A short bold vertical line will appear, with horizontal arrows pointing left and right.

Left click and hold this icon and it will permit you to grab the column line, allowing you to move it left or right to your desired location.
