Explanation

PERT (Program Evaluation and Review Technique) is specifically designed to analyze the tasks involved in completing a project by estimating three time values per task-optimistic, pessimistic, and most likely-to calculate the expected duration and identify the minimum time needed to complete the entire project. CPM (Critical Path Method) identifies the longest sequence of dependent tasks but does not emphasize probabilistic time analysis. FP (Function Points) is a software sizing metric, not a scheduling method. A Gantt chart visually represents the project schedule but does not perform statistical time analysis. PERT's core purpose of task-level time analysis and minimum project duration identification makes it the correct answer.
