Program Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT) with ConceptDraw DIAGRAM

PERT Diagram is a more realistic approach of a project's time estimate analysis. After PERT chart was constructed user can discover the shortest possible duration for entire project timescale. The project timeline is the longest chain that might be taken with connected tasks on the PERT Diagram. Completion of serial tasks need to be accomplished in a presented order. At a project timeline can be independent tasks that not linked with main sequence they are called parallel tasks. PERT diagram is more suitable for Critical Path Analysis than Gantt chart for the reason that it undoubtedly better determine task dependencies. Project managers customarily utilize both methodologies.

How To Show Critical Path in ConceptDraw PROJECT Server

The critical path in project management means the picked tasks that influence the start and finish date of a project.

Activity on Node Network Diagramming Tool

Activity on Node Network Diagramming Tool - Activity Network and Project Evaluation and Review Technique, or PERT, charts are a way of documenting and analyzing the tasks in a project.
This sample shows the Activity on node network diagramming method. It was created in ConceptDraw DIAGRAM diagramming and vector drawing software using the Seven Management and Planning Tools solution from the Management area of ConceptDraw Solution Park.

Network Analysis Activity on Node

This sample shows the activity on node (AON) network. The social network analysis (SNA) is the analysis of the social networks, it analyzes the social relationships in terms of network theory that uses nodes and ties. The nodes represent the activities and are displayed as circles labeled with the activity number and completion time in brackets. The nodes are sequentially connected, the ties are represented as lines.
