What is Pert amd CPM

Question

Accepted Answer

PERT and CPM are project management techniques used to plan, schedule, and control complex projects.

PERT (Program Evaluation and Review Technique) is a probabilistic technique that uses three time estimates (optimistic, pessimistic, and most likely) to calculate the expected project duration.
CPM (Critical Path Method) is a deterministic technique that identifies the critical path, which is the longest sequence of dependent activities, and determines the minimum project duration.
Both techniques involve creating a network diagram to visualize the project activities and their dependencies.
PERT and CPM help in identifying the critical activities, managing resources, and estimating project completion time.
For example, in construction projects, PERT and CPM can be used to determine the optimal sequence of activities and allocate resources efficiently.
