In this episode of Echo Verse AI Originals by Khaled Alzahhar, we dive into two of the most powerful tools in project management: the Critical Path Method (CPM) and the Program Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT). We explore how these techniques help managers plan, schedule, and control projects with precision. Through lecture-based insights and practical examples, we cover:
How to calculate early start (ES), late finish (LF), and slack
Identifying the critical path that dictates project duration
Using optimistic, most likely, and pessimistic estimates to forecast timelines
Determining the probability of project completion by a specific deadline
Whether you're a student of management, a project leader, or simply curious about the mathematics of planning, this episode will give you the tools to approach complex projects with confidence and clarity.
