Question

What and Define scheduling by PERT and CPM in mathematical foundations of computer science

Answer 1

Solution:

1. Project Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT) :

PERT is appropriate technique which is used for the projects where the time required or needed to complete different activities are not known. PERT is majorly applied for scheduling, organization and integration of different tasks within a project. It provides the blueprint of project and is efficient technique for project evaluation.

2. Critical Path Method (CPM) :

CPM is a technique which is used for the projects where the time needed for completion of project is already known. It is majorly used for determining the approximate time within which a project can be completed. Critical path is the largest path in project management which always provide minimum time taken for completion of project.
