3. INTRODUCTION U.S. Navy's Polaris project Critical Path Method (CPM) analysis technique used to predict total project duration PERT is a Network Model Technique used to estimate project duration Federal Urdu University of Arts, Science And Technology G-7/1,ISLAMABAD

4. STEPSINVOLVEIN PERT PLANNINGPROCESS Identify Activities and Milestones Determine Activity Sequence Construct the Network Diagram Estimate Activity Times => Optimistic Time =>Most Likely Time =>Pessimistic Time Exact time=(Optimistic+ 4 X Most likely + Pessimistic)/6 Determine the Critical Path Update as Project Progresses Federal Urdu University of Arts, Science And Technology G-7/1,ISLAMABAD

5. PERT CHART 40 t = 1 wk C F t = 3 wk t = 3 wk t = 2 wk 50 20 10 A D B E t = 4 wk t = 2 wk 30 Federal Urdu University of Arts, Science And Technology, G-7/1,ISLAMABAD

6. Finding the Critical Path Develop a good project network diagram Add the Durations for all Activities The dependant path is the critical path Federal Urdu University of Arts, Science And Technology G-7/1,ISLAMABAD

7. Determining the Critical Path for Project X

8. BENEFITS OF PERT Expected project completion time. Probability of completion before a specified date. The critical path activities that directly impact the completion time. The activities that have slack time and that can lend resources to critical path activities. Activities start and end dates

9. LIMITATIONS Activity Time Estimation On Judgment PERT Assumes a Beta Distribution PERT Consistently Underestimates the Expected Project Completion Time Federal Urdu University of Arts, Science And Technology G-7/1,ISLAMABAD
