So first, what is a pert network? pert stands for program evaluation and review technique, and this is a project management tool that is used to schedule, organize, and manage complex projects.
00:12
So it is particularly useful for projects with multiple interdependent tasks and where timing and sequencing are critical.
00:20
So let's go through two possible job applications for a pert network.
00:26
So first would be a construction project manager.
00:29
So a construction project manager can use pert networks to plan and oversee construction projects, which often involves numerous tasks that can be completed within a specific sequence.
00:41
So within this role, a pert network can help with a couple of tasks.
00:46
So first, it can help with task sequencing.
00:49
So pert can be used to determine the optimal sequence of construction activities, which is going to help ensure that critical tasks such as maybe site preparation, foundation, framing, plumbing, electrical work, they're all carried out in the right order, which is going to help avoid delays or the need to rework.
01:09
So now pert networks can also help in this role by helping allocate resources effectively, which will help ensure that labor, materials, and equipment are available when needed at various stages of, in this case, a construction project.

Additionally, it can help with risk management...
