PERT/CPM
● PERT
• Program Evaluation and Review Technique
• Developed by U.S. Navy for Polaris missile project
• Developed to handle uncertain activity times
● CPM
• Critical Path Method
• Developed by DuPont & Remington Rand
• Developed for industrial projects for which activity
times generally were known
● Today’s project management software packages have
combined the best features of both approaches.
