    Network Techniques Source: Monitoring & Evaluations, Overview of Methods & Techniques
    (2001-08-20) Santhanam, M. L.
    Network technique is by far the most popular method, providing a comprehensive analysis of Project Management. The heart of network-based planning methods, is a graphical portrayal of the plan for carrying out the programme. Such a graph shows the precedence relationship, i.e. the dependencies of the programme's activities leading to the end objective. This graph is termed Network. This concept has been developed in an evolutionary way over many years. (Moder and Phillips, 1970). The Critical Path Method (CPM) was developed by Dupont in the late 1950s, mostly for use in construction projects. On the other hand, Programme Evaluation Review Technique (PERT) was developed in 1958 as part of the U.S. Navy's Polaris submarine development programme, and is used in Research and Development projects (Sachdeva, 1991).
