Performance Evaluation and Review Technique PERT

Network analysis can be used to describe the complicated precedence relationships between the activities of a large project. The resulting description can be used to determine a timetable for the activities and to predict a completion date for the project. Examples of network planning methods (or project planning methods) are the Critical Path Methods (CPM) and Performance Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT) (Chryssolouris 2006). 

PERT (Performance Evaluation and Review Technique) charts primarily show how the different tasks are connected by presenting these as a network of boxes (activities) linked with lines. Due to a lack of a common time scale, start and finish dates have to be added to each individual task box. Complex PERT charts are difficult to survey and are less suitable for presentation purposes of the entire project. However, they are commonly used during the establishment of a project plan and to illustrate dependencies within a selected part of the project, because they expose the logic of a project.
