What describes a start-to-start logical relationship?

The successor's finish is dependent on the predecessor's start
The successor and predecessor start at the same time
The successor cannot start until the predecessor starts
The successor's start is independent of the predecessor's start

The correct answer is: The successor cannot start until the predecessor starts

A start-to-start logical relationship describes a scenario where the successor activity cannot start until the predecessor activity starts. This means that there is a dependency between the two activities, and the successor activity must wait for the predecessor activity to begin before it can start. This relationship ensures that the timing and sequence of the activities are aligned properly in the project schedule. In contrast: - Option A (The successor's finish is dependent on the predecessor's start) describes a finish-to-start relationship. - Option B (The successor and predecessor start at the same time) describes a concurrent start relationship, not a start-to-start relationship. - Option D (The successor's start is independent of the predecessor's start) indicates a finish-to-finish relationship rather than a start-to-start relationship. Therefore, the correct description of a start-to-start logical relationship is that the successor cannot start until the predecessor starts, making option C the most appropriate answer.
