What does start to start mean and finish to finish?

RE: Linking

The most common link you have is finish to start, which means that the successor (S) task will only start once the predeccessor (P) task is finished.

So, a start to start is when both the (S) & (P) tasks start at the same time.

A finish to finish is when both the (S) & (P) tasks finish at the same time.

MS Project tip:

Typing Links Between Tasks

In the Entry table, use the Precessors column to type in links. Type the previous task's ID to link. To change the link, add FS (Finish-Start), FF (Finish-Finish), and so on, and + duration to add a Lag, or - duration for a Lead time. Example: for task 5, 4FS+1w ... task 4 preceeds task 5, finish to start, with a week lag between.
