Finish-to-Start (FS)

A schedule dependency where a successor activity is allowed to begin only after its predecessor has been completed.

Key Points

  • The most common relationship in precedence diagramming (PDM) schedules.
  • Can include lag (a delay after finish) or lead (the successor starts slightly before the predecessor fully finishes).
  • Influences sequencing, critical path determination, and float calculations.
  • Shown in network diagrams as a link from the predecessor's finish to the successor's start (FS).

Example

In a construction project, "Frame walls" starts only after "Pour foundation" is complete; a 2-day lag may be added to allow the concrete to cure before framing begins.

PMP Example Question

Which relationship type applies if user training may begin only after the new system is fully deployed?

  1. Finish-to-Start (FS)
  2. Start-to-Start (SS)
  3. Finish-to-Finish (FF)
  4. Start-to-Finish (SF)

Correct Answer: A — Finish-to-Start

Explanation: Training (successor) cannot start until deployment (predecessor) is finished, which is an FS dependency.

AI for Project Managers — Build Plans Faster, Lead Better

Turn messy inputs into structured project plans in minutes. If you are a project manager tired of spending hours on documentation, this course shows you how to use AI to work faster while staying fully in control.

This is not a generic AI course. You will learn how to use AI as a practical co-pilot to build real project artifacts—charters, WBS, schedules, risk registers, and executive reports—using structured, reliable prompt frameworks.

You will also learn how to keep your project aligned across scope, schedule, cost, and risk, and how to interpret performance data like Earned Value Management to support better decisions and communication.

Everything is designed for immediate use. You get ready-to-use prompt templates and workflows you can apply right away in your projects. Watch the video to see how it works and start building your first AI-supported project plan.
