Objective of the diagram is to pass along information on the projectchoice of diagram type should be driven by this fact? Milestones can be shown on PDM as activities with zero duration? ADM you must identify all activities and all milestones, PDM allows you to choose what milestones you want? ADM – you can add ‘dummy’ activities (lines with no duration) to force dependency?
