FS - Finish-to-Start: Activity can only start when predecessor has finished regardless of resource availability SS – Start-to-Start: Activity and its predecessor may start simultaneously if resource is available SF – Start-to-Finish: Activity must finish before predecessor may start FF – Finish-to-Finish: Activity must finish at the same time as its predecessor

simultaneously.

For example, if you have two tasks, "Add wiring" and "Inspect electrical," the

"Inspect electrical" task cannot be completed until the "Add wiring" task is

completed.

Start-to-finish (SF)

The dependent task (B) cannot be completed until the task that it depends on (A)

begins.

The dependent task can be completed anytime after the task that it depends on

begins. The SF link type does not require that the dependent task be completed

concurrent with the beginning of the task on which it depends.

For example, the roof trusses for your construction project are built offsite. Two of

the tasks in your project are "Truss delivery" and "Assemble roof." The "Assemble

roof" task cannot be completed until the "Truss delivery" task begins.

When inserting a task among linked tasks, you can have a new task linked automatically or not link it at all.

To link the new task, click the task that you want the new task to precede, and then click New Task on

the Insert menu.

Note If this doesn't work, on the Tools menu, click Options , and then click the Schedule tab. Make sure

that the Autolink inserted or moved tasks check box is selected.

To add the new task without linking it, click the task with which the new task will occur concurrently,

and then drag to create the new task in a blank portion of the Network Diagram.

Link tasks by using the Gantt Chart view

1. On the View menu, click Gantt Chart.

2. In the Task Name field, select two or more tasks you want to link, in the order you want to link them.

To select nonadjacent tasks, hold down CTRL and click the tasks you want to link.
To select adjacent tasks, hold down SHIFT and click the first and last tasks you want to link.
