For every lecture, you have a planned activity to receipt the attendees and another task to start the lecture presentation in a settled time. What is the logical relation between the activities "receive the attendees" and "present the lecture"?

C start to finish

[Ramandeep Chahal]

Finish to start is the only logical choice as until you don't have "ALL" the attendees presenting the lecture does not make sense.

Whats the correct answer as per the book/Website?

Thanks,

Raman

My answer is : Start-to-Finish C.

Reason:  "task to start the lecture presentation in a ****** settled time ***** " As an organizer, PM dont want to wait until attendees get  settle and then start presentation which increases delay in presentations. So as to make all presentations within time schedule and avoid un-necessary waste of time.

B. finish to start. As you can not start the presentation without finishing attending to guests

Hi,

 

At the onset it appears to be a simple Finish to Start but as SivaKumar highlighted the caveat of settled time; which means it was planned for to start at a time. So I lean on Start to Finish as well.

Keyword is settled time. Answer is C ?

Please read about the project activities dependency.

FS - successor will start only after the predecessor activity is finished.

I dont get the idea about FF FS SF 

[Gaurav Singh]

Can't settled time be between "receive the attendees" and "present the lecture"?
Just a query before accepting C as an answer.
