Question

Which of the following steps is NOT a basic step followed by PERT and​ CPM?

A. Compute the critical path.
B. Draw the network connecting all the activities.
C. Define the project.
D. Identify and eliminate​ non-critical activities.

Answer 1

D.

Step-by-step explanation:

PERT and CPM are network planning techniques.

PERT means Program Evaluation and Review Technique.

CPM means Critical Path Method.

The six steps more common to PERT and CPM are:

-Define the project and identify each activity.

-Develop relationships among the activities.

-Draw the network connecting all of the activities.

-Adding time and/or cost estimates to each activity.

-Compute the longest time path through the network. This is called the critical path.

-Use the network to help plan, schedule, monitor and control the project.
