PERT Chart
Visualize project timelines with optimistic, pessimistic, and most-likely duration estimates.
A PERT (Program Evaluation and Review Technique) chart helps project managers account for uncertainty in task duration by tracking three time estimates—optimistic, pessimistic, and most-likely—for each activity. This template calculates expected durations and critical paths, enabling better risk assessment and realistic scheduling for complex projects.
Ideal for project managers, product teams, and technical leads managing projects with high uncertainty or dependencies. It removes guesswork from timeline planning by providing a statistical approach to scheduling and identifying which tasks most impact overall project completion.
