PERT (Program Evaluation and Review Technique) in plain English
Guessing a drive will take "about an hour" is different from using last month's identical drive, or best/likely/worst traffic, or the longest chain of errands you can't skip. PERT (Program Evaluation and Review Technique) is one of those estimating lenses — pick the wrong lens and your schedule lie becomes a surprise. Hold onto this precise job description: Program Evaluation and Review Technique; the beta-distribution three-point estimate t_E = (O + 4M + P) div 6. Planned Value (PV). On a stem, name whether PERT (Program Evaluation and Review Technique) is about timing, ownership, measurement, or delivery style — then eliminate the answer that borrows a cousin concept from the wrong phase.
