Group ongoing or overhead activities that run the length of an effort, e.g. "project management". The duration of the hammock activity (the size of the hammock) may also be set by the subtasks within it, so that the abstract grouping has a start date of the earliest of any of the subtasks and the finish date is the latest of any of the contents.
This thesis details the development and validation of logic flow diagrams for the activities composing the pre-project planning process. Generic in nature, these diagrams utilize the activities found within the Project Definition Rating Index (PDRI) for Building Projects, a scope definition measurement tool developed by the Construction ...

Concept mapping and mind mapping software is used to create diagrams of relationships between concepts, ideas, or other pieces of information. It has been suggested that the mind mapping technique can improve learning and study efficiency up to 15% over conventional note-taking. [1]
