- It breaks down the project into
- Events
- Activity
- Proper sequence & relationship between

- Duration
- In simple words PERT is a statistical tool that is used in project
management and which was designed to
- Analyze and represent the tasks involved in completing
a given project
- Illustrate the flow of events in a project
Types
·
Activity
on Arrow (AOA)
o In
the first variant the duration is denoted on arrow connecting diagram nodes
·
Activity
on Node (AON)
o The
information about the task duration is denoted in the diagram node & each task
is represented in the form of rrectangle with definite of fields
