Tutorial

The document discusses the Activity on Arrow (AOA) network diagramming technique for project scheduling. AOA represents activities as arrows and relationships between activities as circular nodes linking arrows. Nodes represent specific achievements with zero duration. Arrows represent activities, which can be real activities or dummy activities of zero duration used to represent network logic and ensure no activities have the same start and end points. An example AOA network is provided.

Activity on Arrow (A.O.A)

• The Activity on Arrow (AOA) - also known as Arrow diagramming method (ADM) - is a
network diagramming technique for project scheduling.
• Activities are represented by arrows.
• Relationships between activities are represented through the use of circular nodes to link
arrows.

Nodes:
• A node is a specific, definable achievement in the project.
• It has zero duration and consumes zero resources.
• All activities that lead to a node must be completed before the activities following this node can
start.
Arrows:
In AOA networks, there are two types of activities:
• Real activities
• Dummy activities
Dummy activities:
• Have zero durations.
• Have zero resources

Activity on Arrow (A.O.A)

Dummy activities are used:


• To help represent the logic of the network

• To ensure that no activities have the same start and end points at the same time.
