For complex projects that require more sophisticated management systems,
computer programmes capable of processing large amounts of data can be used.
For example, between 500 and 2000 operations need to be successfully organised
to organise a World Cup event. In such cases, it is necessary to use project
management software.
All of these management systems are based on PERT 5 (Programme Evaluation and
Review Technique) logic, which involves using specific milestones to describe the
series of operations (sequences of tasks, interface management, scheduling) that
must be implemented by each specialist.
The objective of all these documents is to structure the action and to clearly
display the division of responsibilities and the individual and collective plans of
action. These summary documents can be used to periodically assess the status
of the project, and to identify and rank the risks that will influence short-term
decisions. Thus, this type of system ensures the reliability of the deadline
management system. 6
5. PERT (Programme Evaluation and Review Technique): scheduling and control technique that
involves drawing up a network of a multitude of interdependent tasks that need to be carried out
to successfully complete a project.
