1950s through the efforts of the U.S. Navy.

a. S-Curve / Velocity Chart

b. Bar / Gantt Chart
c. PERT (Program Evaluation and Review Technique)
d. Line of Balance (LOB) Chart
 PERT (Program Evaluation and Review
Technique)
It is a critical path analysis which
uses a single point estimate for all
activity durations. PERT Charts are
often constructed from back to front
because, for many projects, the end
date is fixed and has front-end
flexibility. It was developed during
the 1950s through the efforts of the
U.S. Navy to help coordinate the
thousands of contractors it had
working on myriad projects.
 S-Curve / Velocity Chart
It is a time scaled graph based
on the value based from the
planned value, earned value and
value cost. It is defined as a display
of cumulative costs, labor hours or
other quantities plotted against
time. The name is derived from the
S-like shape of curve, flatter at the
beginning and end, and steeper in
the middle that is typical of most
projects.
 Bar / Gantt Chart
It is one of the most commonly
used graph that shows a project
schedule. It was developed by
Henry Laurence Gantt. It is a chart
in which a series of horizontal lines
shows the amount of work done or
production completed in certain
periods of time in relation to the
amount planned for those periods.
Line of Balance (LOB) Chart
It is typically used in situations
where skilled resources are
performing the same activities. It is
a management control process
used in construction where the
project contains blocks of
repetitive work activities, such as
in high rise buildings.
