Question

Explain the term PERT?

Expert Solution

Step 1

The program evaluation review technique (PERT) is a visual tool that is used in project planning. It helps the project planners to classify the start and end dates, as well as interim expected tasks and timelines. The PERT information is represented as a network in chart form. The chart uses numbered rectangles or circles to outline milestones and straight lines with the arrow at the end to outline tasks to be completed.

The PERT technique helps the project planner to identify:

The required sequence of events.
The start and end dates.
The anticipated total completion time required.
The probability of completion by a certain date.
All activities are referred to as events on the chart, which impact the completion time.
