Finish start

Could you explain once again on the 4 FS relationships and how they can be applied successfully to project tasks

RE: Finish start

Hi Pauline

Thanks for your question.

There are four types of relationship.
FS - Finish to Start
SS - Start to Start
FF - Finish to Finish
SF - Start to Finish

One way to choose the right link for your tasks is to do the following:

Double click on the successor task. In the predecessors tab click below Task Name. From the list that appears choose the task that is driving your successor. Then ask yourself is it the Start or Finish of the predecessor that is driving the Start or Finish of your successor. Choose the appropriate connection from the list and click OK to apply the link.

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

Kind regards,

Andrew

MS Project tip:

Avoid Accidental Constraints

The initial default table is the Entry table. Enter a task name and duration, but do not enter start or finish dates. Form the plan using links, predecessors. Typing dates introduces constraints. To remove these constraints, double click on a task, and on the Advanced page of Task Information set the constraint back to As Soon As Possible (all other options are there too.)
