Task Dependencies

When would you use a finish to finish dependency?

RE: Task Dependencies

Hi Laura

Thank you for your question

A finish to finish dependency means that the successor task cannot finish until the predecessor task has also finished.

For example if you were running a music festival, you wouldn't want the security cover to finish before the end of the last act. So a finish to finish link from the last act to security cover could be set, perhaps with some lag time to allow for crowd dispersal.

Hope this helps

Regards

Stephen


 

MS Project tip:

Set default task type - Project 2010

a. In Project, click on the File tab
b. Select Options from left hand side
c. Click on Schedule to set the scheduling options
d. Set the Default Task type box to your chosen option
i. Generally if you plan/estimate your projects using durations you should use fixed duration, and untick the box New tasks are effort driven, if you plan/estimate with person hours use fixed work, or for plans estimated with the proportion of resources time use fixed units, and untick the box New tasks are effort driven)
e. Click OK to apply your changes
