How can a PERT Chart, Critical path diagram, and Work Breakdown Chart assist in project planning?

A PERT (Program Evaluation Review Technique) Chart, Critical Path Diagram, and Work Breakdown Chart are all essential tools in project planning. A PERT Chart is a graphical representation of a project's timeline, which allows the project manager to schedule tasks and also to identify the critical path or the sequence of tasks that must be completed on time to ensure the project is completed as scheduled. A Critical Path Diagram is used to illustrate the ordered list of tasks that need to be completed to finish a project in the shortest possible time. It helps in identifying the most critical tasks that could impact the project's timeline. A Work Breakdown Chart, on the other hand, is a tool that breaks down the project into smaller, manageable tasks or phases. It helps in assigning responsibilities, organizing tasks, and estimating costs and timelines.
