I inherited a new project yesterday and I was reviewing the project plan written in MS Project. I can use MS Project, but I am not an expert. I have created close to a hundred plans over my short Project Management career and would say that I am comfortable with the tool.
Well, this project plan was obviously created by an advanced user, as it had many constraints and dependencies. I did not understand the concept of some of the dependancies, for example SS (Start-to-Start) and Start-to-Finish (SF). Some even had extra days after then, such as "28FS + 5 Days".
I came across a simplified article on the Microsoft website, which explains the concepts of all four (SS, SF, FS, FF) dependancies in the form of a small project to deliver a Wedding Cake. Here is the link.
