PERT Chart

A PERT (Program Evaluation and Review Technique) chart is a visual tool used to plan and manage complex projects by illustrating the sequence of tasks, their durations, and dependencies. It helps identify the critical path—the longest sequence of dependent activities determining the project's shortest completion time. By mapping out tasks and their relationships, PERT charts enable project managers to analyze potential delays, allocate resources efficiently, and ensure timely project completion. Essentially, it's a detailed roadmap that guides teams through every step of a project, highlighting how individual tasks fit together and what must happen to reach the goal.
