Which of the following statements accurately distinguishes between CPM (Critical Path Method) and PERT (Programme Evaluation and Review Technique)?
- 1PERT is generally used for construction projects, while CPM is used for software development projects.
- 2CPM employs a probabilistic approach to time estimation, whereas PERT uses a deterministic approach with fixed activity durations.
- 3PERT focuses on the optimization of the cost of activities, whereas CPM focuses on optimising the project schedule.
- 4CPM is primarily used for projects with well-defined activities and deterministic time estimates, while PERT is used for projects with uncertain activities and probabilistic time estimates.✓
Correct answer
CPM is primarily used for projects with well-defined activities and deterministic time estimates, while PERT is used for projects with uncertain activities and probabilistic time estimates.
