In this paper, an overview is given of the project data instances available in the literature to
carry out academic research in the field of integrated project management and control. This …

Project control has been a research topic since decades that attracts both academics and
practitioners. Project control systems indicate the direction of change in preliminary planning …

Based on theoretical arguments and empirical evidence we advocate the use of the
lognormal distribution as a model for activity times. However, raw data on activity times are …

The program evaluation and review technique (PERT) has become a classic project
management tool for estimating project duration when the activities have uncertain …

Abstract The Program Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT) is a stochastic network
technique developed in the late 1950s. The original model assumes PERT β distribution for …

We address the problem of determining the start times of activities in order to maximize the
expected net present value of a project given precedence constraints. We assume that each …

Project Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT) alongside recent modifications is a
popular and useful tool in project risk analysis. Over the past seven decades, there have …

The original PERT technique assumes β distribution for the activity durations. The
developments of the past decades have partly refuted this concept; and many different …

Abstract The Program Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT) has been criticized for the
proposed (beta) distribution of the activities, the three-point estimation method, the …

Simulation has played an important role in project-management studies of the last decades,
but in order for them to produce practical results, a realistic distribution model for activity …
