The PERT Method

write an overview of PERT analysis and calculate the critical path based on a recent project that you have participated in.

The review of the PERT analysis should include the following:

Define PERT and why it is used.
Differentiate between activity on Node and Activity on Arrow.
Define the forward and backward pass method for calculating critical path.
Define burst, merge, and slack.

The PERT analysis of your project should include your appendices with a WBS, and network diagram with forward and backward pass calculated according to the following specifications:

An initial WBS of your project that has no less than 4-5 Major tasks,
Each major task should have several subtasks,
Calculate the critical path, and
Identify any tasks that have slack.
(Include slack on the arrows and identify the critical path(s) and burst and merge activities.)

Lastly, conclude with a summary of importance of PERT and Critical Path analysis in project management.
