PERT is a project time management techniquein which the task times are estimated based on three time horizons i.e. optimistic, pessimistic andmost likely. The consideration of three time estimates makes the method more accurate.(Kerzner, 2003).Task Time and Variance CalculationTask time is calculated byformula: Te= (To + 4*Tm+ Tp)/6WhereinTe---Expected completion timeTo---optimistic time estimateTe—Most likely timeTp---Pessimistic time estimateVariance=[(𝑇𝑝−𝑇𝑜)6]2PERT/CPM Analysis Table 1.1TaskPrecedingActivityOptimisticTime toComplete(weeks)(To)ProbableTime toComplete(weeks)(Tm)PessimisticTime toComplete(weeks)(Tp)ExpectedTime toComplete(weeks)(Te)Variance(weeks)StartAStart24.34.84.000.218BA510.214.210.002.351CA11.42.41.500.054DB,C78159.001.778EC8152515.508.028FA30324333.504.694
