+Full Name:: Program Evaluation and Review Technique
+
+Also known as:: Three-Point Estimation, PERT Network Analysis
+
+[discrete]
+== *Core Concepts*:
+
+Three-Time Estimation:: Each activity requires three duration estimates: Optimistic (O) — best case if everything goes well; Most Likely (M) — realistic expected duration; Pessimistic (P) — worst case if problems arise
+
+PERT Formula:: Weighted average: *E = (O + 4M + P) / 6* — weights the most likely estimate four times more than the extreme estimates
+
+Standard Deviation:: *σ = (P − O) / 6* — quantifies schedule uncertainty per activity; used to calculate confidence intervals for the project completion date
+
+Network Diagram:: Activities are represented as nodes or arrows in a directed acyclic graph; dependencies between activities are modelled explicitly
+
+Critical Path:: The longest path through the network determines the minimum project duration; any delay on the critical path delays the whole project
+
+Float / Slack:: Time an activity can be delayed without affecting the project end date; activities on the critical path have zero float
+
+Probabilistic Scheduling:: Unlike CPM (which uses single-point estimates), PERT treats duration as a random variable, enabling statistical confidence ranges for milestones
+
+Origin:: Developed in 1958 by D.G. Malcolm, J.H. Roseboom, C.E. Clark, and W. Fazar at Booz Allen Hamilton for the US Navy's Polaris submarine missile programme
+
+Key Proponents:: D.G. Malcolm, J.H. Roseboom, C.E. Clark, W. Fazar ("Application of a Technique for Research and Development Program Evaluation", 1959)
+
+[discrete]
+== *When to Use*:
+
+* Estimating effort and schedule for projects with significant uncertainty
+* Planning R&D, software development, or any novel work where duration is hard to predict
+* Communicating schedule risk and confidence levels to stakeholders
+* Identifying the critical path to focus risk management and resource allocation
+* Complementing Story Points or T-shirt sizing with a probabilistic time dimension

+Vollständiger Name:: Program Evaluation and Review Technique (Programmbewertungs- und Überprüfungstechnik)
+
+Auch bekannt als:: Drei-Punkte-Schätzung, PERT-Netzplananalyse
+
+[discrete]
+== *Kernkonzepte*:
+
+Drei-Punkte-Schätzung:: Jede Aktivität benötigt drei Dauerschätzungen: Optimistisch (O) — bester Fall, wenn alles reibungslos läuft; Wahrscheinlichst (M) — realistisch erwartete Dauer; Pessimistisch (P) — schlimmster Fall bei auftretenden Problemen
+
+PERT-Formel:: Gewichteter Mittelwert: *E = (O + 4M + P) / 6* — die wahrscheinlichste Schätzung wird viermal stärker gewichtet als die Extremwerte
+
+Standardabweichung:: *σ = (P − O) / 6* — quantifiziert die Terminunsicherheit je Aktivität; wird zur Berechnung von Konfidenzintervallen für den Projektabschlusstermin verwendet
+
+Netzplan:: Aktivitäten werden als Knoten oder Pfeile in einem gerichteten azyklischen Graphen dargestellt; Abhängigkeiten zwischen Aktivitäten werden explizit modelliert
+
+Kritischer Pfad:: Der längste Pfad durch das Netzwerk bestimmt die minimale Projektdauer; jede Verzögerung auf dem kritischen Pfad verzögert das gesamte Projekt
+
+Puffer / Schlupf:: Zeit, um die eine Aktivität verzögert werden kann, ohne den Projektendtermin zu beeinflussen; Aktivitäten auf dem kritischen Pfad haben keinen Puffer
+
+Probabilistische Terminplanung:: Im Gegensatz zur CPM (die Einzelpunktschätzungen verwendet) behandelt PERT Dauern als Zufallsvariablen und ermöglicht statistische Konfidenzintervalle für Meilensteine
+
+Ursprung:: 1958 von D.G. Malcolm, J.H. Roseboom, C.E. Clark und W. Fazar bei Booz Allen Hamilton für das Polaris-U-Boot-Raketenprogramm der US Navy entwickelt
+
+Schlüsselvertreter:: D.G. Malcolm, J.H. Roseboom, C.E. Clark, W. Fazar („Application of a Technique for Research and Development Program Evaluation", 1959)
+
+[discrete]
+== *Wann zu verwenden*:
+
+* Aufwands- und Terminschätzung für Projekte mit erheblicher Unsicherheit
+* Planung von F&E-, Softwareentwicklungs- oder anderen neuartigen Vorhaben, bei denen Dauern schwer vorherzusagen sind
+* Kommunikation von Terminrisiken und Konfidenzwerten gegenüber Stakeholdern
+* Identifikation des kritischen Pfads zur gezielten Risikobewältigung und Ressourcenzuteilung
+* Ergänzung von Story Points oder T-Shirt-Größen um eine probabilistische Zeitdimension
