Finish to Start (FS): The first task or predecessor must finish before Successor can start. Start to Start (SS): The 2nd task does not start until predecessor task starts. Finish to Finish (FF): The 1st task or predecessor must finish before Successor can finish. Start to Finish (SF): The first task must start before Successor can finish.
