PK0-003 · Question #429

A project manager is completing a project schedule network diagram using dummy activities to show all logical relationships. Which of the following tools is the project manager using?

The correct answer is A. ADM. The question describes the Activity Diagramming Method (ADM), also known as Arrow Diagramming Method, which employs dummy activities to illustrate logical relationships in a project schedule network diagram.

Why each option

The question describes the Activity Diagramming Method (ADM), also known as Arrow Diagramming Method, which employs dummy activities to illustrate logical relationships in a project schedule network diagram.

AADMCorrect

The Activity Diagramming Method (ADM), also known as Arrow Diagramming Method, represents activities as arrows and nodes as events or milestones. Dummy activities, represented by dashed arrows, are a specific feature of ADM used to show logical dependencies without consuming time or resources, ensuring correct sequence when multiple activities converge or diverge from a single node.

BWBS

WBS (Work Breakdown Structure) is a hierarchical decomposition of the total scope of work, not a method for drawing network diagrams with dummy activities.

CAON

AON (Activity-On-Node) is a network diagramming method where activities are represented by nodes, and arrows show dependencies, but it does not typically use dummy activities as ADM does.

DPDM

PDM (Precedence Diagramming Method) is synonymous with AON (Activity-On-Node) and represents activities on nodes with arrows showing dependencies, also not utilizing dummy activities.
