Most books have this one wrong. So what does it mean exactly? The START of the predecessor determines the FINISH of the successor. Keep in mind that these relationships are logic based, not time based. Here's an example I use in my classes. Let's say you are planning a cruise. If the predecessor is 'Set sail' and the successor is 'Sell tickets'. When you plan on setting sail, that determines how long you can sell tickets for. If you push that date back, you can sell tickets for a longer period of time and vice versa. But as soon as you set sail, you can no longer sell tickets. Therefore, START of 'Set sail' determines the FINISH of 'Sell tickets'. SF is a challenging one. Most books have this one wrong. So what does it mean exactly?
