What is the primary difference between the arrow diagramming method (ADM) and the precedence diagramming method (PDM)?
Correct Answer: A
* Arrow Diagramming Method (ADM): Also known as Activity-on-Arrow (AoA). Activities are represented as arrows, and only finish-to-start (FS) relationships are supported. ADM has limitations in representing other relationships like start-to-start (SS), finish-to-finish (FF), or start-to-finish (SF). * Precedence Diagramming Method (PDM): Known as Activity-on-Node (AoN). Activities are represented as nodes (boxes), allowing for flexibility in logic relationships, including FS, SS, FF, and SF. * PSP Study Guide Reference: The PSP Study Guide highlights that PDM has more advanced capabilities compared to ADM, particularly in defining diverse logical relationships. * Conclusion: The correct answer is A, as ADM is restricted to finish-to-start logic, while PDM offers more flexibility.
Question 48

Correct Answer: C
Question 49
The BEST reason to use multiple calendars is to:
Correct Answer: A
* Purpose of Multiple Calendars: Multiple calendars account for varied work/non-work periods among resources, regions, or activities, accurately representing project execution. * Evaluation of Other Options: B, C, D: These may be secondary benefits but are not the primary reason. * Verification with PSP Guidelines: The PSP Study Guide emphasizes the importance of calendars for realistic scheduling (Ref: PSP Study Guide, Chapter 2A: Calendars and Constraints).
Question 50
