Two Important Tools in PMS
Gantt Chart It uses lines & bars to indicate the duration of a series of
tasks. The time scale may range from minutes to years. It allows to see whether tasks are being completed on

PERT Chart (Program Evaluation Review Technique) It shows not only the timing but also relationships among the
tasks of a project. The relationships are represented by lines that connect
boxes describing the tasks.

What is a Computer-Aided Design? A CAD program is a software program for the design of
products and structures. It helps architects design buildings & work spaces. It also helps engineers design cars, planes, & electronic
devices. The product can be drawn in three dimensions & then
rotated on the screen so the designer can see all sides.
Examples are Autosketch, EasyCAD2, CorelCAD, TurboCAD
