Steps in PERT/CPM Network analysis
- Identify every significant activity that must be achieved for a project to be completed.
- Determine the order in which these events must be completed.
- Diagram the flow of activities from start to finish, identifying each activity and its relationship to all other activities. This results in a flowchart diagram called a PERT network.
- Compute a time estimate for completing each activity.
- Using the network diagram that contains time estimates for each activity, determine a schedule for the start and finish dates of each activity and for the entire project.
