I need some clarification regarding linking an activities. Is it possible to link an activities...say...ACT.2 has a PREDECESSOR ACT.1 of FF & SS relationship and a SUCCESSOR ACT.3 of FF & SS relationship? What’s the purpose then? Is it acceptable?

Thanks a lot.

    Hi Weni,

    you can have SS and FF relationship to the predecessor as well successor. the main reason to have FF rel will remove open end to the pred/succ. in your case. or else you will not get any impact during update, if there is any delay in the completion of pred. activity. it depends on the situation to use it.

    Another good reason to have both a SS and FF relationship is so the successor won’t finish before the Predecessor finishes.

    Sound like a hammock activity (summary) to me for Activity No1

    That way it will show the earliest start date of a group of activity and latest finish date.

    Cheers
