CAPM (Certified Associate in Project Management) Practice Exam

What does the precedence diagramming method (PDM) represent?

1. The cost associated with each project activity

2. The time constraints of the project schedule

3. A schedule model showing activity sequences

4. The resource allocation for each activity

The correct answer is: A schedule model showing activity sequences

The precedence diagramming method (PDM) is a scheduling technique used in project management to represent the sequence of activities in a project. It shows the logical relationships between project activities, including which activities must be completed before others can start. This method helps in determining the most efficient way to complete a project by identifying dependencies and defining the order in which activities should be executed. Therefore, option C, "A schedule model showing activity sequences," is the correct answer.
