A project manager is planning a project with tasks that have uncertain durations. The manager wants to use a tool that allows for estimating task durations based on weighted averages of different time estimates to better plan the project schedule. Which project management tool should the manager use?
The PERT chart is designed for projects where task durations are uncertain and allows for estimating task durations using weighted averages of different time estimates. This helps in accounting for variability and uncertainty in project scheduling. Gantt charts display tasks against a timeline but do not inherently accommodate variability in task durations. Milestone charts highlight key events in the project but do not provide detailed scheduling information. Critical Path Method diagrams focus on the sequence of critical tasks but typically use fixed time estimates without considering variability.
