PERT (Program Evaluation and Review Technique) is a network technique that uses three time estimates for each activity in a project: optimistic (the shortest time an activity can realistically be completed), pessimistic (the longest time an activity might reasonably take), and most likely (the activity's duration based on normal resources and effort). It is used to estimate the expected time for a project to be completed and identify critical activities that could affect the project's duration. PERT does not assume that we do not know ahead of time what activities must be completed, nor does it assume that activity time estimates follow the normal probability distribution. PERT is not a deterministic network technique that allows for project crashing.
