Program evaluation and review technique

PERT is an acronym for Program Evaluation and Review Technique. It is a more sophisticated form of planning than Gantt charts, and is appropriate for projects with many interactive steps. There are three components of a PERT diagram circles or other convenient, closed figures represent events arrows connecting the circles represent activities and non-activities connecting two events are shown as dotted-line arrows. (A non-activity represents a dependency between two events for which no work is required.)... 

Acronym for Program Evaluation and Review Technique. A network diagramming technique that places emphasis on the completion of events rather than cost or time. 

Action systems will tighten up as time compresses. Project management systems such as the Critical Path Method and the Program Evaluation and Review Technique, so successfully used in the Sixties, will find wider application. 

Finally, no management system can be considered without the support of a planning operation with various types of bar charts, PERT (Program Evaluation and Review Technique) charts and full critical path analysis. Although these systems are a useful tool for management, occasionally there is a risk that the system takes over management.

The Gantt chart was invented by Henry Gantt in the early part of the last century. Gantt charts coordinate various activities (with a common ultimate goal) of various people. Such charts are the predecessor of the most powerful methods of the Critical Path Method (CPM) and Program Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT). 

A second step includes the evaluation of the identified risks. The scope of the risks depends on the probability of occurrence and the resulting consequence for the project. The probability of occurrence can be determined by experts by the network plan technique PERT (program evaluation and review technique)...

Dhillon 1987). CPM is now widely used in planning and managing construction projects however, CPM can also be used for any project consistent with the broad definition of project presented in Chapter 5. A related, but more sophisticated method is the Program Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT) as described by PMI (2008) and Wikipedia (2011c). PERT, which explicitly accommodates uncertainties associated with task durations, is outside the scope of this book.
