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].
Nowadays, GERT is not considered as a generally accepted and used scheduling technique. It becomes of limited use, that explains why the [Project Management Institute (PMI)] in its current standards (PMBOK third edition 2004) discarded GERT.
