Monitoring your near critical activities can be, in some schedules, as important as the critical ones. Here we describe how to create a filter, so you can easily view near critical tasks in your Microsoft Project 2013 schedule  http://ow.ly/IcII3

    Hi Emily,I missed this post

    Hi Emily,

    I missed this post the first time around and only decided to respond after seeing your other article today on finding the longest Critical tasks.

    Overall I believe your article presents a perfect example of the fundamental inability of MSP users – even supposed experts – to correctly analyze a logic-driven schedule.  The primary reason for this is the user community’s reliance on Total Slack as the sole indicator of a given task’s “criticality” or its inclusion on a particular logical path – all while continuing to use constraints, deadlines, and variable calendars.

    (I wrote a lot more but it won't fit here, so I made it a blog entry.)
