RDCPM™ — Relationship Driven CPM

By Fredric L. Plotnick, Ph.D., Esq., P.E.

Introduction
The new format of the Relationship Diagramming Method (RDM) variant of Critical Path Methodology (CPM) of Planning and Scheduling was introduced in 2005 in the sixth edition of the industry manual, CPM in Construction Management. Certification of proper usage is attested to by the RDCPM™ compliance certification symbol.

The original format for CPM, which was developed 50 years ago, has since been renamed as Arrow Diagramming Method (ADM) to distinguish it from the Precedence Diagramming Method (PDM) variant which was first implemented in 1964. ADM is also known as AOA or Activity-on-Arrow, while PDM is also known as AON or Activity-on- Node. Another variant of the same era was Program Evaluation Review Technique (PERT), which was developed by the U.S. Navy for the creation of the Polaris Missile System. PERT focused more upon defined milestones, instead of the loosely defined activities between such milestones.
