Abstract
Program evaluation research technology (PERT) and the critical path method (CPM) have become widely recognized as valuable tools for the planning and scheduling of large projects.These methods provide a strong theoretical basis for the managers in planning, arranging progress, dealing with the impact of uncertain factors and controlling cost. When it is difficult to accurately estimate the time of some activities, Three estimation methods of PERT can calculate the approximate probability of completing the project within the required time too. For using the PERT/CPM technology of Operational Research, This paper made the employment in project planning for the college graduates, help them to remove terrified mind and gain time and opportunity before getting a job.
