by | reviewed 2023-08-19

Activity-on-node

An activity-on-node diagram is a type of schematic used in project scheduling. It shows the sequence of activities needed to complete a project, as well as the dependencies between those activities. Activity-on-node diagrams are made up of two main elements: nodes and arrows. Nodes represent individual activities, while arrows show the relationships between those activities.
