What variance value would be used in finding possibilities of finishing by a certain time?

Question 2 – PERT Project Analysis

We have a software project at SRT Enterprise. This project has five things that need to be done. We have a table that shows how long we think each of these things will take. Now we need to figure out how long the whole project will take to finish.

(a) How Long Will The Project Take

We need to calculate the time it will take to finish the project. To do this we use PERT to get an idea of how long the project will take. We look at the time it will take for each activity.

(b) Figuring Out Variance

We need to find the variance. This helps us understand how sure we are about the project time. Variance is important because it shows us how uncertain we are about the project duration.

(c) Looking At Probability

We want to know the chance that the project will take longer than we think by 2 days. To do this we use probability to see if the project will be late.

Key Things To Focus On

This question is mainly about:

  • Using PERT to estimate project time
  • Understanding. Uncertainty in scheduling
  • Calculating probability for project completion
  • Assessing risk, in software project management

This task is to see how well you can use PERT in projects. We want to know if you can estimate time measure uncertainty and look at the risk of the project not being finished on time.
