PERT questions with correct answer
What is PERT? CORRECT ANSWER Pert is a method to analyse the involved
tasks in completing a given project, especially the time needed to complete each
task, and identifying the minimum time needed to complete the total project.
What does PERT stand for? CORRECT ANSWER P - Program
E - Evaluation and
R - Review
T - Technique
Implementing pert CORRECT ANSWER The first step to scheduling the project is
to determine the tasks that the project requires and the order in which they must be
completed.
The order may be easy to record for some tasks.
CPM vs PERT CORRECT ANSWER CPM was developed for complex but fairly
routine projects with minimal uncertainty in the project completion times.
Less routine projects = more uncertainty in completion times.
Uncertainty = limits usefulness in the CPM models.
Alternative to CPM... CORRECT ANSWER An alternative to CPM is the pert
project planning model which allows a range of duration to be specified for each
activity.

What does CPM stand for? CORRECT ANSWER Critical Path Method What benefits does it provide? CORRECT ANSWER - Provides a graphical view of the project

  • Predicts the time required to complete the project
  • Shows which activities are critical to maintaining the schedule and which are not. What does the CPM model do? CORRECT ANSWER - CMP models the activities and events of a project as a network.
  • Activities are shown as nodes on the network.
  • Events that show the beginning/end of activities are shown as lines. Steps in CPM planning CORRECT ANSWER 1. Specify the individual activities
  1. Determine the sequence of those activities.
  2. Draw network diagram.
  3. Estimate completion time for each activity.
  4. Identify the critical path.
  5. Update CPM diagram as project progresses. GANTT CORRECT ANSWER - Gantt shows the duration of tasks whereas CPM/PERTT shows the sequence and dependencies between tasks.
  1. AOA - Activity on arrow
  2. AON - Activity on node Activity on node CORRECT ANSWER Generally easier to create and interpret. What is crashing? CORRECT ANSWER Reducing time on activity completion time is known as "crashing", the activity to illustrate this concept is "Activity on node".
