The program evaluation and review technique ( PERT) is a statistical tool used in project management, which was designed to analyze and represent the tasks involved in completing a given project . PERT was originally developed by Charles E. Clark for the United States Navy in 1958; it is commonly used in conjunction with the Critical Path ...
The CPM is a project-modeling technique developed in the late 1950s by Morgan R. Walker of DuPont and James E. Kelley Jr. of Remington Rand. [3] Kelley and Walker related their memories of the development of CPM in 1989. [4] Kelley attributed the term "critical path" to the developers of the PERT, which was developed at about the same time by ...
Design structure matrix is a simple, compact and visual representation of a system or project in the form of a matrix. It is the equivalent of an adjacency matrix in graph theory, and is used in project management to model the structure of complex systems or processes, in order to perform system analysis, project planning and organization ...
Critical chain project management. Critical chain project management ( CCPM) is a method of planning and managing projects that emphasizes the resources (people, equipment, physical space) required to execute project tasks. It was developed by Eliyahu M. Goldratt. It differs from more traditional methods that derive from critical path and PERT ...
Graphical Evaluation and Review Technique. Graphical Evaluation and Review Technique ( GERT) is a network analysis technique used in project management that allows probabilistic treatment both network logic and estimation of activity duration. The technique was first described in 1966 by Dr. Alan B. Pritsker of Purdue University and WW Happ.
Critical path drag is a project management metric [1] developed by Stephen Devaux as part of the Total Project Control (TPC) approach to schedule analysis and compression [2] in the critical path method of scheduling. Critical path drag is the amount of time that an activity or constraint on the critical path is adding to the project duration.
Earned value management is a project management technique for measuring project performance and progress. It has the ability to combine measurements of the project management triangle: scope, time, and costs. In a single integrated system, EVM is able to provide accurate forecasts of project performance problems, which is an important aspect of ...
Construction management ( CM) aims to control the quality of a project's scope, time, and cost (sometimes referred to as a project management triangle or "triple constraints") to maximize the project owner's satisfaction. [1] [2] It uses project management techniques and software to oversee the planning, design, construction and closeout of a ...
