Despite the insights that PERT provides,there are still practical limitations that impact its usefulness.All of the following difficulties are associated with the use of PERT EXCEPT:
A) It often requires more effort to generate three estimates than one.
B) It highlights uncertainty in project duration
C) It does not accurately address the case when two activities both need to be accomplished before a third can begin.
D) There is no assurance that three estimates are any more accurate than one

PERT (Program Evaluation and Review Technique) is designed to highlight uncertainty in project durations by using three estimates (optimistic, most likely, and pessimistic) to calculate an expected time for activities. This feature is actually a strength of PERT, not a limitation, as it helps in understanding and managing the uncertainties inherent in project timelines. Choices A, C, and D describe actual limitations or challenges associated with using PERT.
