Question

Despite the insights that PERT provides, there are still practical limitations that impact its usefulness. All of the following difficulties are associated with the use of PERT EXCEPT: a. There is no assurance that three estimates are any more accurate than one b. It does not accurately address the case when two activities both need to be accomplished before a third can begin. c. It often requires more effort to generate three estimates than one. d. It highlights uncertainty in project duration

Answer 1

Answer:

d. It highlights uncertainty in project duration                                  

Explanation:

The acronym PERT stands for Program Evaluation and Review Technique. It is method that is used to determine the tasks or activities that are scheduled and examines how much time is required to complete each activity. It is used in project management to determines the minimum time required to complete the whole project.

Despite its highly usage in determining the time required to complete a project, it provides several limitations to its practical use. Like it can provide correct information about the accuracy of one element of any three estimates. It also does not provide the information when exactly a third scheduled task can begin before the accomplishing the two ongoing activities.

Thus the correct answer is--

d. It highlights uncertainty in project duration
