PERT estimates activity duration using optimistic, most-likely, and pessimistic values to produce an expected time and variance, handling uncertainty better than single-point estimates. This is the PERT Estimation from the Stratenity Library, a governed consulting deliverable that is already built for you. It gives your team the full working method for PERT estimation, and it walks through everything from three-point estimates: optimistic, most likely, pessimistic to the project duration distribution. Every asset ships with a worked client example, a clear RACI, defined KPIs, and governance you can defend, so your team adapts it to a live client engagement instead of starting from a blank page.
