CPM & PERT (1)

PERT and CPM are project management techniques used for planning, scheduling, and controlling interrelated activities to achieve specific objectives. PERT focuses on event completion time and is used for non-repetitive jobs, while CPM emphasizes cost and time trade-offs for repetitive jobs. Both methods involve network analysis and have advantages such as cost reduction and resource optimization, but also face challenges like large network charts and complexity in management.

have only a single start activity and a
single finish activity.

they are no longer used to manage the
