CAPM Project Management Exam Prep

Category - Time Management

Which of the following is the least common dependency relationship between project tasks?
  1. Start-to-finish
  2. Start-to-start
  3. Finish-to-finish
  4. Finish-to-start
Explanation
Answer: D - Start-to-finish refers to one activity beginning so that another activity can finish. This is rarely used.

Key takeaway: With a start-to-finish relationship, you are saying that the second task in the relationship can't finish until the first task starts. However, the second task can finish any time after the first task starts.

A sample would be if you have to ship a good before you bill the customer for it. Billing the customer can end any time, but you are saying before you can bill, you have to have at least started the shipping process.
