What is critical path?

All activities that have no float defines the critical path

Sorry to be ignorant, but what do you mean bby float?

refer to the blogg on terminal float you might get an idea of float from that

give him a break he’s only a forensic claims analysis

critical path is the longest path connecting the critical activiries of a project fom the staring of that project to the comletion date of the project.

by the way, the critical activities are the activities have total float = zero.

the total float is the difference between the early start and late start and the early finish and the late finish.

Thanks ashraf

Oh how we were all fooled by the once Forensic Claim Analysist, now exposed Recruitment Consultant Chris Austin!

So Chris... do you now understand what the Critical Path is?

As a Recruitment Consultant I doubt you were thinking about the same thing as we planners here - maybe the answer you were looking for was ’the shortest route to the nearest pub’ - more your kind of thing eh?

I suggest we all just ignore Mr Austin’s ridiculous posts - they obviously don’t attempt to add to the sum of planning knowledge, as David says they are from a recruitment consultant not a planner.

In the critical path method we determine some activities that hanve no total & free slack.

this is way where you don’t have a stop-over to take a nap and have to reach the destination with a basket full of unshattered eggs! safely. I hope you got what i mean!
