    A project is defined as a complex, non-routine, one-time effort with defined time, budget, resources and performance goals to meet customer needs. Network techniques like PERT and CPM are used to graphically depict the sequential relationships between tasks in a project. PERT is for research projects and uses probabilistic times while CPM is for construction and uses deterministic times. The critical path method identifies the longest path of tasks in a project network that determines the shortest completion time.
