Question 51
Glenda is developing a schedule for the project management plan to construct a kitchen for a local restaurant. Glenda is using the precedence diagramming method (PDM) to determine what order tasks should be done. She has scheduled the installation and routing of electrical cables to the kitchen before installing the oven, stoves, and other electrical appliances. Which of the following components, dependencies, or logical relationships best describes the scenario above?
- A Start-to-finish (SF)
- B Start-to-start (SS)
- C Finish-to-start (FS)
- D Finish-to-finish (FF)
Reveal correct answer
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The finish-to-start dependency best describes the scenario above. Logically, the electrical cables for appliances in the kitchen will need to be installed and routed before the installation of the electrical appliances can be completed. Start-to-finish (SF) is where a successor activity cannot finish until a predecessor activity begins. Start-to-start (SS) is where one activity cannot begin until another activity begins. Finish-to-finish (FF) is where one activity cannot finish until another activity is finished.Discussion
