PK0-003 · Question #113

Which of the following activity sequencing techniques uses nodes to symbolize the dependencies of each activity?

The correct answer is C. Arrow Diagramming Method. The Arrow Diagramming Method (ADM) is an activity sequencing technique where activities are represented by arrows, and nodes symbolize the start, end, and dependencies between these activities.

Why each option

The Arrow Diagramming Method (ADM) is an activity sequencing technique where activities are represented by arrows, and nodes symbolize the start, end, and dependencies between these activities.

ACritical Path Method

The Critical Path Method is a scheduling technique that uses a network diagram to identify the longest sequence of dependent activities, thereby determining the shortest possible project duration, but it does not use nodes to symbolize dependencies themselves in the way ADM does.

BCritical Chain Method

The Critical Chain Method is a scheduling technique that focuses on managing resource constraints and uncertainties by adding buffers to the project schedule, rather than on the graphical representation of activity dependencies.

CArrow Diagramming MethodCorrect

The Arrow Diagramming Method (ADM), also known as Activity-on-Arrow (AOA), graphically depicts project activities as arrows and the logical relationships or dependencies between them as nodes. These nodes represent events, such as the completion of one activity and the start of another, clearly illustrating the sequence and flow of tasks.

DGantt Chart Method

A Gantt Chart Method is a bar chart that visually represents a project schedule over time, showing activity start and finish dates, but it does not use nodes to symbolize dependencies.
