Node

The point on a schedule network diagram where relationship lines join, usually depicting an activity or milestone.

Key Points

  • Shows where dependencies attach to an activity or milestone.
  • Used in precedence diagramming; relationships (FS, SS, FF, SF) connect at nodes.
  • Often displays details such as activity ID, name, duration, and dates.
  • Serves as the building block of the schedule network used for critical path analysis.

Example

In a website project, "Develop Backend" and "Test API" are nodes. A finish-to-start dependency line runs from "Develop Backend" and connects at the "Test API" node, indicating testing cannot start until development finishes.

PMP Example Question

  1. The connection point where dependencies link to an activity or milestone

  3. A resource calendar constraint
  4. A detailed risk response plan

Correct Answer: A - The connection point where dependencies link to an activity or milestone

Explanation: A node is the point on the network diagram where dependency lines connect and typically represents an activity or milestone.
