In PERT, if the scheduled project completion time and sum of the average completion times for critical path activities are the same, the probability of completing the project on schedule is estimated at 50 percent, assuming no other paths are near-critical. |

A major limitation of Gantt charts in project management is that they do not: |
| | A) | indicate the major activities involved. |
| | B) | show activity times. |
| | C) | show the timing of activities. |
| | D) | show precedence relationships. |
| | E) | give a visual portrayal. |

Concerning PERT and CPM: |
| | A) | These are two different names for essentially the same technique. |
| | B) | CPM tends to focus more on the critical path. |
| | C) | PERT gives a clearer indication of activity slack, while CPM gives a better picture of path slack. |
| | D) | Because of its recent discovery, much less is known about CPM than PERT. |
| | E) | All of the above are true. |
