Project management fundamentals: PERT as an event-oriented technique Consider the PERT (Programme Evaluation and Review Technique) network method used for scheduling under uncertainty. State whether PERT is event-oriented, as opposed to activity-oriented like CPM.

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: True — PERT is event-oriented (milestones focus)

Explanation:


Concept
PERT emphasizes events (milestones) and uses three-time estimates (optimistic, most likely, pessimistic) to handle uncertainty. CPM is typically activity-oriented and deterministic.


Conclusion
Therefore, the statement “PERT is an event-oriented technique” is correct.


Final Answer
True — PERT is event-oriented (milestones focus).
