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.
