Dummy activity definition

What is a Dummy Activity?

A dummy activity is an activity added to a project schedule as a placeholder. It has no activity time associated with it. A dummy activity is intended to show a path of action in a project activity diagram and is employed when a logical relationship between two activities cannot be linked by showing the use of arrows linking one activity to another. It typically appears as a dashed line that links two tasks.
