The project evaluation and review technique (PERT) is a tool for showing relationships among key activities that constitute the construct and delivery process. The principal features of the diagram are:

1 . Activities or tasks to be completed during the project are labeled in alphabetical order on the lines, along with their estimated time of completion.
2 . Events are numbered and mark the completion of one activity and the start of another.
3 . Paths are routes through the diagram that connect the events from first to last.
4 . Critical path is the path with the greatest overall time. Any delay in the activities along this path will extend the overall project time.
