A project manager is analyzing activity sequences and finds that Activity B cannot start until Activity A is 50% complete. This represents which type of dependency?

Accepted Answer

A project manager encounters a dependency where Activity B starts after Activity A reaches 50% completion, indicating a Start-to-Start relationship with a lag. This is because Activity B's start is dependent on a specific progress milestone of Activity A. The lag represents the remaining 50% of Activity A. Incorrect options, such as Finish-to-Start with lag, imply a different dependency structure.
