PERT and CPM Project Management for RPSC Mains

Preparing for the RPSC Mains requires a solid grasp of network analysis techniques to solve complex scheduling problems. This course provides a clear, step-by-step guide to mastering PERT and CPM concepts through written explanations, structured methodologies, and practical problem-solving. You will transition from basic project management definitions to solving intricate network diagrams, calculating critical paths, and estimating project durations with high accuracy. What you'll learn: - Understand foundational project management terminology and the core differences between deterministic and probabilistic approaches. - Construct network diagrams accurately using both activity-on-arrow and activity-on-node conventions. - Calculate earliest and latest event times, floats, and slacks to identify the critical path. - Analyze probabilistic time estimates in PERT using standard deviation, variance, and probability of completion. - Apply time-cost optimization techniques, including network crashing and resource leveling concepts. - Practice exam-style numerical questions designed to match the pattern of competitive engineering examinations. The course begins with essential definitions of activities and events before moving systematically into diagram construction, mathematical calculations, and optimization strategies. You will study detailed written breakdowns of formula applications and step-by-step numerical solutions. This course is designed specifically for civil engineering aspirants and project management students preparing for competitive exams, with no prior network analysis experience required.
