    aka Precedence diagramming method(PDM)

    aka Arrow diagramming method(ADM) or activity-on-line

    Uses boxes to represent activities Uses arrows to representactivities

    Uses arrows to show dependencies Connects arrows at nodes toshow dependencies

    Does not use dummy activities Uses dummy activities

    Uses FS, FF, SS, and SF relationships

    Uses only FS relationships FS is the most common relationship

    software has not been consistent forthe types of relationships)

    Why identify dependencies as mandatory or not?

    Answer:

    When rescheduling, it is important to know whichdependencies may have alternatives.

    Finish to Start (FS) Task 1 must finishbefore Task 2 can begin.

    Once the foundation is finished (Task 1),workers can start building the walls(Task 2).

    Start to Start (SS) When Task 1 begins,Task 2 begins.

    At a conference luncheon, the speakermay start presenting (Task 1) at the

    same time as the lunch is served (Task2).

    Finish to Finish (FF) When Task 1 ends, Task2 also ends.

    The delivery of materials to build thewalls (Task 2) should end as soon as thefoundation is finished (Task 1).

    Start to Finish (SF) When Task 1 starts,Task 2 may end.

    The manufacture of goods (Task 2)finishes just as the delivery of the orderstarts (Task 1) (where the order was apredecessor to the manufacture of thegoods).

    2. Gantt Charts

    Advantages Disadvantages

    Display start and end date for

    each task Display a complete projecttime line

    Display expected durations Easy to read

    Allow easy communicationof the project reporting andcontrol

    Do not always show

    dependency of tasks(sometimes will showdependencies)

    Not a good tool for theplanning stage (note that

    network diagrams are abetter tool for activitysequencing, for example).
