A discussion of PERT is presented. PERT is an acronym for Project Evaluation and Review Technique. The first step in a PERT analysis is to list every activity required to accomplish the project. This is accomplished in three stages: (1) listing of major tasks, (2) assigning dates to each of these tasks, and (3) listing activities which must be performed to accomplish each task. Once a project begins, the manager should hold regular meetings with the task leaders to reanalyze the schedule. The implications of any variances can be discussed in conjunction with supplementary PERT analyses. PERT is recommended for good project results. (CK)
