Hello
Each project manager prefers to see parallel tasks instead of long chains of FS linked tasks.
Especially when tasks are not very small deliverables, there is always the choice to choose SS+Lag or FF instead of FS relationship.
Example: Instead of waiting for AFC foundation drawing, Structural design can start almost a week after start of foundation design (when calculations are available).
I always wonder which link is the best for this purpose (SS+Lag or FF).
What is your experience?
Have fun

Oldest first- 0Bernard Ertl ·You may want to do some testing with lags and MS Project if you are using multiple calendars. You may get unexpected results. It appears to use the default project calendar for lags irrespective of the calendars for the tasks being connected by the relationship.
