Jack is working with his project team to develop a network diagram, and noticed that a series of activities can go in parallel but must end in a specific sequence. What type of activity sequencing method should be used?
Answers :
1)Precedence diagramming method
2)Arrow diagramming method
3)Critical path method
4)All of the above

Which one to choose between 2 and 3

Option 1 - Precedence

Option 1 - Precedence diagramming method

Precedence diagramming method - A schedule network diagramming technique in which schedule activities are represented by boxes (or nodes). Schedule activities are graphically linked by one or more logical relationship to show the sequence in which the activites are to be performed. PMBOK 4 Page No:441

Arrow diagramming method used in PMBOK 3 and obviously the critical path activities need not be in the order of sequence of activities like A-B-C-D.

Thanks

PMBOK 4, does not speak about Arrow diagramming method,the answer shall be either 1 or 3 but agian PDM is used in critical path methodology so the answer shall be 3.
