Basics Of Critical Path

Beste vrienden!

In today's learning, we will deviate a bit from our tips and tricks part and learn something conceptual. So, today, I will not be writing any prank, but some basic Gyaan! [This is my 50th blog folks ^_^]

So let us understand it in an Q&A format :

#1: What is Critical Path?
It is a sequence of activities scheduled that determines the duration of project plan.
Critical path method is an important method to distinguish critical activities from non-critical tasks to prevent conflicts and bottlenecks.

#2: Is it the longest or the shortest path?
It is the longest path through a project

#3: If it is the longest path, it should take the longest time for execution, right?
NO! [a very big NO], it determines the shortest time possible to complete the activities in the plan.

#4: Please explain.
The upper limit of earliest finish dates of all the task items identified in the plan is used to calculate the longest path through the plan.

Now, for the below Gantt chart, the task 4 (Resource C) will not feature in the CP. Even if we miss finishing it(i.e. C) in its stipulated deadline, we still have time to execute it because the above task (Resource A) takes more time to finish than C, hence extending C(till above A's finishing time) will not extend the overall deadline of the project. [If it does, then, we will have to create a new CP considering Resource C!]

                                        [Will try to upload a better quality image ASAP!]

Activities on CP must be completed according to planned schedule for the overall delivery of the project on time. If an activity on CP is delayed, the end date of the project is affected.
This tool is readily deployed by Project Managers as they prepare and track release schedules, plan for allocation of resources, take remedial actions is there is a need.

Next will be a tip on malware removal from pen drive without anti virus, I promise!

Adios!
