What are the strengths and weaknesses of AOA and AON techniques?

What will be an ideal response?


Both activity on arc (AOA) and activity on node (AON) create a sequential logic for all activities within a project. AON techniques are easier to learn and are the format of choice for project management software. AON mode allows for ease of labeling and interpretation as long as the number of activities is not too large. AOA is widely used in the construction industry and can be easier on the eyes if the project has a large number of activities. Another advantage is that the use of arrows can provide some indication of activity length, which may be difficult to visualize in AON format. Milestones at the start or end of an activity are easy to locate in AOA format. AOA suffers from the difficulty of dummy activities and data dispersion (instead of having all duration and early and late start and finish times in a node, these tidbits may be spread along the length of the arrow).
