Critical Path Analysis

Lesson 4 Discussion: Critical Path Analysis

It is not uncommon for projects to fail to meet schedule expectations. Critical Path Method (CPM) also called critical path analysis is a network diagramming technique used to predict total project duration. This tool is important in helping to combat project schedule overruns. A critical path for a project is the series of activities that determine the earliest possible completion date; it is the longest path through the network diagram and has the least amount of slack or float. Slack or float is the amount of time an activity may be delayed without delaying a successive activity or the project finish date.

Post a thread summarizing the steps involved in applying the Critical Path Method.
