A PERT chart is a network diagram used in project management to estimate project duration based on task sequences. The document provides an example PERT chart with activities, predecessors, and expected times. It also gives two exercises asking to construct PERT charts from information about activities, predecessors, and times.

Topic 7
A PERT CHART is a network diagram used in the Program Evaluation Review Technique
(PERT) to represent a project's timeline. It allows project managers to estimate the duration of
projects based on the analysis of task sequences.

Assignments
 
I. From the following information, draw the network and number the events in their proper
sequence
 
1. A, B and C are starting activities and may begin at the same time
2. D and E follows A and Cannot start until A is completed
3. G follows and depends on C
4. F is dependent on the completion of B and D
5. G and F must be done before H can start
6. J also depends on G and F and it is an ending activity
7. I is also an ending activity but it cannot start until E and H are completed
II. Draw the network diagram of the following information
 
A is the first job of the project
O and N are the two final jobs for project completion
K precedes O
N follows L and M
J restricts the start of K and M
C and B depends on the completion of A
D follows B and may go in parallel with C and E
E follows C
I restricts the start of J and L
H and G also restrict K and M
F must precede G and may go in parallel with H
E and D restrict H and I
C must precede F
