PM process: typical situations to use the "rubber" dependency constrain

[malcaraz (Manuel)]

Hi all,
I open this topic to collect wisdom and best-practice.
Which are planning “typical situations” in which the task dependency constrain would be “rubber”, not “hard”?

Fixed date for a task or a milestone

You have a few options: Use earliest begin constraint on a task. Use rubber dependencies which do not move successors backwards. Create a fake milestone at the desired start date and link it with your task. This way you will have an additional constraint which prevents task from moving earlier. You can read about the first two options in the docs on scheduler.
