Module 2 : Project Planning
PERT Assumptions

Basic PERT Procedure


  • Compute mean and variance of all jobs.
  • Conduct forward and backward pass on the project network with expected times of all activities.
  • Identify the Critical Path.
  • Obtain variance of critical path by adding variance of activities.
  • Obtain the distribution of the Project Duration.
  • Make probability statements about the project
    - Chances of meeting the target date.
    - Probability of exceeding a given ceiling date.
    - Probability that the project duration is confined to an interval of time.
