Finish Flag Query

I am trying to anaylise a P3 schedule given to me which has a Finish Flag. I have made a Target schedule of the original schedule, and am currently trialing some different duration options on the Target 1 I have made. Whilst changing some durations I have noticed that the Finish Flag (which happens to be the Project Complete Activity) moves out......which I would expect if it had Predeccessors or successors....which I cannot see. Plus I have looked for a constraint...non to be seen.

Can somebody tell me how this would happen, as I have never used the Type: Flag activity before.

Thank you
Samantha

    Essentially, if a finish flag activity has no predecessors, then it will default to the latest early finish of the rest of the plan.

    Incidentally, a finish flag cannot have a successor (in the same way as a start flag cant have a predecessor.

    Brilliant. Thank you for your quick reply.

    This absolutely makes sense.

    Good planning.

    Ooops. Having just reread my earlier post, Can I point out that a start flag can have a predecessor, but not a successor.
