About the PERT estimation method
P
PERT Estimation
PERT uses a weighted average that emphasizes the most likely scenario while accounting for best and worst cases, creating a balanced estimate with statistical confidence.
Optimistic
Best-case scenario
If everything goes perfectly
Most Likely
Realistic estimate
With normal problems
Pessimistic
Worst-case scenario
If serious problems occur
Formula
(O + 4M + P) ÷ 6
Where O = Optimistic, M = Most Likely, P = Pessimistic
