Graphical Evaluation and Review Technique

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Graphical Evaluation and Review Technique, commonly known as GERT, is a network analysis technique used in project management that allows probabilistic treatment of both network logic and activity duration estimated. The technique was first described in 1966 by Dr. Alan B. Pritsker of Purdue University and WW Happ^[1].
Compared to other techniques, GERT is an only rarely used scheduling technique. The Project Management Institute discarded GERT in its third edition of PMBOK(2004).
