Answer:

The correct answer is letter "A": identify the sequence of tasks that takes the longest to complete.

Explanation:

The PERT (Program Evaluation Review Technique) Network Chart Method is implemented at the moment of organizing a project and is useful to list the activities necessary to conduct the project and estimate the time each of them could take. The PERT method involves five (5) steps:

Identifying activities
Establishing the sequence of the activities
Constructing a network diagram
Estimating the time for each activity
Identify the critical path

The critical path is the total time it will take to complete the project. It is the result of adding all the times of the activities of the project. Calculating the critical path allows to find out which is the activity that takes the longest and if the time for conducting such activity could be decreased.

Answer:

Identify the sequence of tasks that take the longest to complete

Explanation:

Program Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT) is a project management tool that is used to manage potential contingencies in the process of executing a project. It is used to schedule ,organize and coordinate tasks in a project.

Determining the critical path on a PERT network lists out the time required for different tasks to be completed and as a result , the sequence of tasks that require the longest time are identified.
