  Stanford Social Innovation Review : Articles : Luck of the Draw (March 26, 2007)
Program officers perform at varying levels of quality in the eyes of their grantees, and our analysis sheds light on the different categories into which they fall.
Program officers exercise a lot of personal discretion in their roles, she notes, and they work very closely with a wide variety of people.
Although program officers are the main interface between foundations and their grantees, foundation leaders often pay too little attention to assessing, developing, supporting, and clarifying the expectations of these crucial staff.

 PERT Chart
PERT was developed in the late 1950's for the U.S. Navy's Polaris project having thousands of contractors.
PERT originally was an activity on arc network, in which the activities are represented on the lines and milestones on the nodes.
Even if the beta distribution assumption holds, PERT assumes that the probability distribution of the project completion time is the same as the that of the critical path.

PERT network chart for a seven-month project with five milestones (10 through 50) and six activities (A through F).
The Program Evaluation and Review Technique commonly abbreviated PERT is a model for project management invented by United States Department of Defense's US Navy Special Projects Office in 1958 as part of the Polaris mobile submarine launched ballistic missile project.
PERT is basically a method for analyzing the tasks involved in completing a given project, especially the time needed to complete each task, and identifying the minimum time needed to complete the total project.

 Introduction to Evaluation   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Evaluation is a methodological area that is closely related to, but distinguishable from more traditional social research.
Evaluation utilizes many of the same methodologies used in traditional social research, but because evaluation takes place within a political and organizational context, it requires group skills, management ability, political dexterity, sensitivity to multiple stakeholders and other skills that social research in general does not rely on as much.
Formative evaluations strengthen or improve the object being evaluated -- they help form it by examining the delivery of the program or technology, the quality of its implementation, and the assessment of the organizational context, personnel, procedures, inputs, and so on.

A PERT activity cannot be completed until the event preceding it has occurred.

 RAND | Papers | Another Estimate of Expected Critical Path Length in PERT Networks.
The Program Evaluation and Review Technique is a well-known and widely applied method for estimating the amount of time required to complete a complex project.
This paper suggests a technique which, while more complex than Fulkerson's, is more accurate, giving estimates which fall between his and the true expected value.
The paper was a product of the RAND Corporation from 1948 to 2003 that captured speeches, memorials, and derivative research, usually prepared on authors' own time and meant to be the scholarly or scientific contribution of individual authors to their professional fields.

 [No title]
The typical application of these planning techniques is to assume activities will take either a known duration (critical path method) or else follow a Beta distribution (PERT).
Under the critical path method the total project duration is the sum of the individual task durations, and under the PERT method, the project duration follows a normal distribution.
The PERT technique is one way to analyze task variations, but the use of other sampling distributions can do so with less variation.
