James...
Sometimes I am embarrassed by my juvenile sense of humour...
I think I misled you... the definition is of a PERT Chart, and pert is not an acronym in this instance!
And I suppose I should come clean about my source, take a look here:

Hi Rob...
Yes... what about a bit of humour... maybe there should be a forum for the light-hearted stuff!
I try to lighten my presentations with the odd joke or definition (and usually fall foul of inappropriate humour).
One that I like, and my apologies if it offends anyone, is the real definition of the critical path… the shortest route to the nearest bar. Yeah, I know its bad but it made me smile… the definition of PERT is even better but, alas, even I know when to stop!
Regards

A good Project Manager will always have a good planner at his side, it is called teamwork. The PM is left wanting without a useful planner at his side.
I agree with you 100%. Its true, plannners have too long being under the shadows of the project managers. When the project goes wrong, lousy planning by the planners. On the other hand, when it is successful, a brilliant and far sighted capability of the PM. Hurrah to all planners.
