A project team is in the planning phase of a complex project with many interdependent tasks. The project manager wants to use a tool to visualize task sequences, dependencies, and identify the longest path through the project. Which of the following tools should the project manager use?
The Program Evaluation Review Technique (PERT) chart is designed to represent task sequences and dependencies in a project. It helps project managers visualize the relationships between tasks, estimate the project duration, and identify the critical path—the longest sequence of tasks that determines the project's minimum completion time. While a Gantt chart displays tasks over time, it is less effective at showing complex dependencies. A milestone chart highlights key events but does not detail task sequences. A histogram displays data distributions and is not used for scheduling or sequencing tasks.
