What is a best practice for linking Just-In-Time Tasks?
I understand your hesitation in not wanting to use a Start-to-Finish (SF) dependency, because it means you are scheduling backwards. In fact, several of my clients PROHIBIT using an SF dependency. However, I am a Baby Boomer, which means I believe "Rules are meant to be broken." In your situation, the SF dependency is the only dependency that actually models the scheduling behavior your are seeking. Therefore, I would recommend you use the SF dependency in your situation. Hope this helps.
Thank you for the quick response! I have a similar question about SF relationships. In reviewing a schedule, there is a chain of 8 or so tasks, all linked with SF relationship. The reason given is similar to above, that the last task in the chain is important and should drive when the prededing tasks are done. Would the SF dependency still be recommended in that situation?
Thank you
