Optimizing project schedules: Simplifying construction planing with pert methodology in construction management

Effective project scheduling is critical in construction management to ensure timely and cost-effective completion. The Program Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT) is an effective project management tool designed to address the complexities and uncertainties inherent in construction projects. The purpose of this research is to improve project schedules and simplify construction scheduling using the PERT methodology in construction management. A case study is the application of the PERT method to a water project in Akre District, Duhok Governorate. The PERT method uses three time periods: optimistic, pessimistic, and most likely for each project event to determine the probability of project completion. Based on the research results, it was found that the PERT method can complete the project with (77 ) days and with probability 88.69 %
