Finish), FF (Finish-Finish), FS (Finish - Start).

For 2 activities say A and B

SS -->> Both A and B start together
SF -->> Start of A coincides with finish of B and so on.

We can also specify the time gap between which these
relationships work. Say in an SS relationship, there can be
a 10 minutes gap between start of A and B and so on.

Whenever the confimation of activities done and if the
milestne is attached with that particular activity the
milstone trigerrs the milstone as per the configuration
