When would a start to finish dependancy occur?

RE: Predecessors

Hi Paul,

Thank you for your question and welcome to the forum.

A start to finish relationship would be set if task(B) cannot be completed until the task it is dependent on(A) has begun.

Here is a link to an example:

I hope this helps and answers your question.

Regards

Simon

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.
