Questions and Answers

What is the primary purpose of creating an AON network in project management?

  • To calculate the earliest start time of a project
  • To create a Gantt chart for project visualization
  • To identify the dependencies between tasks
  • To determine the critical path of a project (correct)

    • What is the difference between an AON network and an AOA network?

  • AON networks are used for small projects, while AOA networks are used for large projects
  • AON networks represent activities as nodes, while AOA networks represent activities as arrows (correct)
  • AON networks are used for project monitoring, while AOA networks are used for project planning
  • AON networks are used for resource allocation, while AOA networks are used for project scheduling
