    Application of CPM and PERT

    PERT and CPM, acronyms for "program evaluation and review technique" and "critical path
    method", respectively, are network techniques used to aid in the planning, scheduling,
    monitoring, and control of activities which are related to each other.

    Comparative discussions of CPM and PERT

    CPM PERT
    CPM is frequently used in the construction PERT was first used to help coordinate the
    industry to help organize and schedule those activities in the development of the Polaris
    activities which together constitute a given missle system.
    construction project.

    In using CPM, one assumes the activity times PERT allows for uncertainty and statistical
    are known with certainty (deterministic variation in activity times (stochastic activity
    activity times); times).
