PERT (Program Evaluation and Review Technique)
Program Evaluation and Review Technique
Network-planning method using estimated activity durations to analyze schedule uncertainty.
Examples
- 01Using PERT, the team estimates commissioning at 4 weeks most likely, 3 weeks at best and 8 weeks at worst, giving an expected 4.5 weeks.
- 02At the steering meeting, PERT results show a 70 % chance of finishing the plant extension by the agreed date.
- 03When PERT shows the deadline is unlikely, the team adds a second commissioning crew to the riskiest task.
