PK0-005 Practice Question: A project manager is developing the project…

A project manager is developing the project schedule. Dependencies include: Task A starts after Task B finishes; Task C must be completed before Task D can start; Task E can start when Task F starts. Which dependency types are being used?

⚠ Common exam trap

Many exam-takers confuse 'starts after finishes' with Start-to-Start (SS) or Start-to-Finish (SF), failing to recognize that 'starts after' implies the predecessor must finish first, which is the definition of Finish-to-Start (FS).

Correct answer & explanation

✓

FS, FS, SS

The three dependency types described map exactly to Finish-to-Start (FS), Finish-to-Start (FS), and Start-to-Start (SS). 'Task A starts after Task B finishes' is FS; 'Task C must be completed before Task D can start' is also FS; 'Task E can start when Task F starts' is SS. These are the standard dependency definitions used in project scheduling per PMI guidelines.
