Program Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT)

The Program Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT) is a project management tool used to analyze and represent the tasks involved in completing a project, particularly in terms of time and resource allocation. By mapping out the various activities and their interdependencies, PERT facilitates better planning, scheduling, and coordination of complex projects, allowing teams to identify critical paths and potential bottlenecks. This technique enhances decision-making and optimizes resource utilization, ultimately contributing to more efficient product design and innovation processes.
