A project manager’s PDM network schedule gets audited by a scheduling expert. The expert tells the project manager to focus more on nodes with “path convergence”, also known as “sinks”. What is the person referring to?

Nodes in a WBS, where several branches are brought back together.
Nodes in a conditional network diagram, at which it becomes deterministic.
Nodes in a decision tree, showing various branches with the same chance.
Nodes in a network logic diagram which have multiple predecessors.

The correct answer is: Nodes in a network logic diagram which have multiple predecessors.

The expert is referring to the nodes in a network logic diagram that have multiple predecessors. This means that there are multiple activities or events that need to be completed before the particular node can be reached. It is important for the project manager to focus on these nodes as they can cause delays and impact the overall project schedule. Options A, B, and C are incorrect, as they refer to different types of diagrams and are not specific to the project manager's PDM network schedule.
