Question

What is the program evaluation review technique?

Expert Solution
Step 1

The program evaluation review technique (PERT) is a visual tool, which is used in project planning. It eases the project planners to classify the start and end dates, as well as interim scheduled tasks and timelines. The PERT data is represented as a network in chart form. It uses several rectangles or circles in the chart to draft milestones and the straight lines with the arrow at the head are used to describe tasks to be finished. 

The program evaluation review technique (PERT) helps the project planner to identify:

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