Add Relationship (Edit Tab)

This command displays the Add Relationship dialog box that allows you to define the logical relationships between activities in your project.

There are four types of relationships:

  • Finish-to-start: The relationship between activities that specifies that the start of the successor activity depends on the completion of the predecessor activity. In most cases, this means that the successor activity cannot start until the predecessor activity is completed. This is the default relationship.
  • Finish-to-finish: The relationship between activities that specifies that the finish of the successor activity depends on the completion of the predecessor activity. In most cases, this means that the successor activity cannot be completed before the predecessor activity is completed.
  • Start-to-start: The relationship between activities that specifies that the start of the successor activity depends on the start of the predecessor activity. In most cases, this means that the successor activity cannot be started before the start of the predecessor activity.
  • Start-to-finish: The relationship between activities that specifies that the finish of the successor activity depends on the start of the predecessor activity. In most cases, this means that the successor activity cannot be completed before the start of the predecessor activity.
Note: The default for the relationship type is Finish-to-start. You can also create inter-project relationships.
