What does a programme network diagram depict?

• A. A budget chart.
• B. A graphical representation of activities and their dependencies showing sequence and durations.
• C. A risk register.
• D. A team organization chart.

Answer: (B)

A programme network diagram shows how work is ordered and timed by mapping activities with their dependencies. It places each activity as a node and uses arrows to depict the logical links—which task must finish before another can start—and includes the duration of each activity. This lets you see the overall sequence, identify the critical path that drives the project duration, and understand where there’s float. It’s different from a budget chart (costs), a risk register (risks), or a team organisation chart (structure). So the diagram provides a graphical view of activities, their dependencies, sequence, and durations to support scheduling and control.
