When to use a PERT chart

  • New project

    Each box is a task and how many days it takes, joined to the tasks that must come first.

  • Showing steps

    Read it left to right: planning first, then copy and design side by side, then building and testing.

  • With a team

    It shows who can work at the same time, like writing the copy while the pages are designed.
