Why is 'Gantt' not capitalized in full whereas 'PERT' is? Gantt is a proper name, of Mr Henry Gantt, whereas PERT is an acronym, for Project Evaluation and Review Technique. Does it matter? If you write the words as 'Gantt' and 'PERT', you have nothing to lose and you may gain by demonstrating your knowledge of project management. If you do otherwise, you have only downside risk, but it's more important to focus on getting the project done on time and on budget than on this kind of detail.
