A detailed tutorial on Project estimation and Program Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT) in project management for PMP certification.

In this post, we'll compare two formulas for calculating Estimate at Completion (EAC) in Earned Value Management (EVM) as part of project cost estimation.

PERT stands for Program Evaluation and Review Technique. PERT is a commonly used technique along with Critical Path Method (CPM) to estimate the minimum time needed to complete a project. PERT was developed jointly by the U.S. Navy, Lockheed Martin, and the consulting firm of Booz, Allen and Hamilton working on the Polaris nuclear submarine project, in the 1950s.
