Critical Path

A -> C-> J -> K Time duration 26min

Slack time of H is 9

I can have early start of 10 and late start of 21, so delay of 10 would not matter in the process

Q3.

Critical path analysis shows that which path is the most important in the whole process and can not be
delayed or any delay in that particular process path can cause the overall project delay.
