Some project managers prefer the PERT chart over the Gantt chart because it clearly illustrates task dependencies. A PERT chart, however, can be much more difficult to interpret, especially on complex projects. Alternatively, some project managers may choose to use both techniques. If you are the project manager of a residential construction project, will you prefer PERT chart to Gantt chart? Explain why?

Answer:

PERT Chart and GANTT Chart

As the project manager of a residential construction project, I will prefer the PERT chart to the GANTT chart because a PERT chart displays task dependencies unlike a Gantt chart.  With the PERT chart, the sequence of tasks is clearly mapped out.  Dependent tasks are carried out when other tasks that they depend on have been executed.

Explanation:

By definition, a Gantt chart is like a bar chart that lays out project tasks and timelines using bars.  On the other hand, a PERT chart follows a structure in the form of flow charts or network diagrams.  It displays all the project tasks in separate boxes.  The boxes are then connected with arrows which clearly show the task dependencies.
