Included short notes about graphical representation and about the current usage practices of the method.
Line 3:
'''Arrow Diagramming Method''' (ADM) is a network diagramming technique in which activities are represented by arrows.
It is used for [[scheduling]] activities in a [[project plan]].
<br />The precedence relation between activities is represented by circles connecting to one or more arrows. The length of the arrow represents the duration of the relevant activity.
 
sometimesSometimes a "dummy task" is added, to represent a dependency between tasks, which does not represent any activity.

Use of the Arrow Diagramming Method as a common project management practice has declined with the adoption of computer-based scheduling tools. The Precedence Diagram Method (PDM) is often favored over the Arrow Diagraming Method.
 
The Arrow Diagramming Method is also known as the Arrow-on-Arrow (AOA) method.
