 What is a PERT Chart

A Pert Chart is a way of showing the flow of work. Each box represents a task, and a line (or Link) from one to another means the second will take place after the first is completed. The first task is called the Predecessor, and the one following is called the Successor. Any task can serve as the Predecessor to multiple Successors. Alternatively,  a task may have no successors and/or no predecessors.

A Pert Chart cannot have a closed loop of work; that would result in a meaningless schedule. The addition of a Link that would cause a closed loop is called a Circular Dependency and is rejected or prevented by the program.

The Critical Path is the line of tasks through the PERT Chart which directly affect the completion in a project. Changing the duration of any task in the Critical Path of the Pert Chart changes the overall end date. One way to hasten the completion of a project is to focus on shortening the tasks on the Pert Chart's Critical Path.

Conventions; It is common practice to 

1. Highlight tasks in the Critical Path in RED to make them stand out.
2. Include tasks with zero duration called Milestones to mark key points of progress. Milestones are drawn as rectangles with trimmed or rounded corners. Tasks are drawn as regular rectangles.
