Programs or Project Management and Review Technique (PERT) is appropriate for those projects where the time required to accomplish different activities are not known. CPM or Critical Path Method is appropriate for the projects that are reappearing (recurring) in nature.
To achieve the end goal of a project on time, PERT and CPM are two project management techniques that every manager should implement.
Here are the essential MCQs given on the PERT and CPM to analyse your understanding of the topic. The answers are also given for your reference.
