Project management technique that shows the time taken by each component of a project, and the total time required for its completion. PERT breaks down the project into events and activities, and lays down their proper sequence, relationships, and duration in the form of a network. Lines connecting the events are called paths, and the longest path resulting from connecting all events is called the critical path. The length (duration) of the critical path is the duration of the project, and any delay occurring along it delays the whole project. PERT is a scheduling tool, and does not help in finding the best or the shortest way to complete a project.(NAEEM SHAKIR) P.I.A Faisalabad

What is statistical control?

What is the difference between test and evaluation?

If we talk about software testing would mean to ensure that the program doesn't give any errors by looking at the internals. Evaluation is post-step that deals with customers to make sure that software you develop complies with their requirements.


How do you solve PERT problem?

To solve a PERT (Program Evaluation and Review Technique) problem, you first define the project tasks and their dependencies, then estimate the time for each task using optimistic, pessimistic, and most likely durations. Next, calculate the expected time for each task using the formula (E = \frac{O + 4M + P}{6}), where (E) is the expected time, (O) is the optimistic time, (M) is the most likely time, and (P) is the pessimistic time. Finally, create a network diagram to visualize task sequences and calculate the critical path to determine the minimum project duration.

What is the different between critical path method and program evaluation and review technique?

Program Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT) lays the foundation of the network diagram or process by which the program will be completed. The Critical Path Method (CPM) is used within PERT to determine a critical path for a project within a program or the program itself if all the duration information is known for the program. CPM is a subset of PERT.

What is a PERT Chart?

A PERT (Program Evaluation and Review Technique) chart is a graphic representation of a project schedule, showing the sequence of tasks, which tasks can be performed simultaneously, and the critical path of tasks that must be completed on time in order for the project to meet its completion deadline. A Gantt chart is another representation of a project schedule, but specifically uses a bar chart.
