Question
A PERT flow chart and a standard operating procedure are both tools used in project management, but they serve different purposes. A PERT (Project Evaluation and Review Technique) flow chart is a graphical representation of a project's timeline, which includes the critical path, or the sequence of tasks that must be completed in order for the project to be successful. On the other hand, a standard operating procedure (SOP) is a set of step-by-step instructions compiled by an organization to help workers carry out complex routine operations. SOPs aim to achieve efficiency, quality output and uniformity of performance, while reducing miscommunication and failure to comply with industry regulations.
This question was asked on:
PERT flow chart is designed to be used for project management. It stands for Project Evaluation and Review Technique. PERT also includes critical path, which is the flow that spans the most consecutive dependent tasks. Because of that, it's critical to the project's success. Having all the tasks laid out in this way will help you estimate the duration of the critical path, and the project as a whole. (Slide 3)
