How might a project manager alter a straightforward PERT network to accommodate an inordinately large and complex project?
What will be an ideal response?
A large project may require a network with thousands of activities, relegating the classic 8.5×11 sheet of paper to the same drawer as a the buttonhook and the 8-track tape. The project manager and his network artist should try to simplify the network logic and reduce it to the most obvious or meaningful relationships. Rather than showing every possible path through the network and every activity sequence, a meta-network that shows only the key subroutines or network paths can be created. These subroutines can be further broken down by the project manager or administrator responsible for their completion, but the overall project network is streamlined to include only the most general or relevant project activities.
