What is a PERT Chart?
How to Create a PERT Chart Collaboratively with Creately’s PERT Chart Generator?
Creating a shared design workspace
Open a workspace in Creately’s PERT chart maker and add your project team as collaborators. Using a brainstorming tool like a mind map or post-it notes, identify the project milestones and break them down into individual tasks.
Planning and requirement gathering
Establish the dependencies between the tasks, i.e. which tasks must be completed before others can begin. This will help to identify the critical path of the project.
Creating a high-level architecture diagram
Estimate the duration of each task, taking into account factors such as resources and complexity.
Detailed design and diagramming
Start drawing your PERT chart by connecting the identified tasks to one another. You can start with a premade Creately PERT chart template or create one from scratch by enabling the relevant shape library.
Review and feedback
Estimate your overall project time frame using the critical path method (CPM) and the PERT formula. Once the estimated time per task has been calculated, add each of the estimates of the critical path together to generate an average project timeline.
Iteration and validation
Review the PERT chart and refine it as necessary. Make sure that the tasks are arranged in the correct order and that the chart is easy to read and understand. Update the PERT chart frequently throughout the project as changes occur. You can track changes with version history and revert back at any time.
Deployment and maintenance
Share the PERT chart with other project stakeholders or export it to a variety of file formats if needed.
