➤ Why would a project manager choose deterministic estimates?
Managers choose deterministic estimates for clarity, faster planning, and when historical data show consistent task durations. Deterministic CPM simplifies resource leveling and progress tracking. It also suits short or repetitive projects. However, it can understate schedule risk if task durations vary, so add buffers when uncertainty exists.
