| Feature | PERT | CPM |
|---|---|---|
| Time Estimates | Uses three estimates (optimistic, pessimistic, most likely) | Uses a single, fixed time estimate |
| Uncertainty | Designed to handle uncertainty | Assumes fixed, deterministic durations |
| Focus | Focuses on probabilistic scheduling | Focuses on critical path and project duration |
| Use Case | Best for uncertain, complex projects (e.g., R&D, technology) | Best for predictable projects (e.g., construction) |
| Critical Path | Identifies critical path, but the main focus is on time estimates | Strong emphasis on identifying and managing the critical path |
| Risk Management | Considers uncertainty and variability | Assumes known durations, less focus on risk |
