PERT Subjects

The list of PERT subjects is not fixed as we expect to update it according to our experience with PERT operations. As we need to maintain the list, we shall design its internal structure. The idea is to split all subjects into one of several areas so that a Case Manager (CM) can select an appropriate area in first step, and then the specific subject is in the next step.

Each SME is subscribed to one or more subjects that are close to their specialization and interest. In order to avoid a large number of subjects, SME can provide several keywords to better specify their specialization withiin the scope of a particular subject.
