Which of the following is the most common dependency relationship between project tasks?
  1. Start-to-finish
  2. Start-to-start
  3. Finish-to-finish
  4. Finish-to-start
  5. These questions are so annoying
Explanation
Answer: D. Finish-to-start is the most commonly used method and describes one activity finishing before another beginning. Finish-to-finish refers to one activity finishing in order for another activity to finish. Start-to-finish refers to one activity beginning so that another activity can finish, which is rarely used.

Key takeaway: Finish-to-start is used almost by default, even though it exists only for sequential tasks. Think about it carefully before you pack your project plans with a bunch of finish-to-start tasks.
