Relating Projects in PV-2 diagram

You can relate projects to a sequence using the following relation types:

• Finish to Start. Target project cannot start earlier than the source project finishes.
• Start to Start. The target project cannot start earlier than the source project starts.
• Finish to Finish. The target project cannot finish earlier than the source project finishes.
• Start to Finish. The target project cannot finish earlier than the source project starts.
