Describe the precedence diagramming method (PDM)

Describe the precedence diagramming method (PDM)

Answers

- Uses boxes to represent activities (nodes) and lines with arrows to represent the dependencies.



- The task names are for this example shortened to just letters. The lines with arrows are not labeled
- Notice that some of the activities (C, F, G, and H) have more than one predecessor; some only have a successor (Begin) and some only have a predecessor (End).
- The PDM illustrates four types of dependencies between activities.
