Determine the float
• Also called a slack
• It is a measurement of surplus time available in
an activity’s scheduling.
• Float = LS – ES or LF - EF
What is Critical Path
• The chain of activities whose times
determine the overall duration of the
project.
• These activities on the critical path are
known as critical activities.
• These activities are critical and cannot be
delayed without delaying the project
Importance of Critical Path to Project
Manager
• Change critical path.
Allows manager to
change the deliverables to duration of the
project.
• Close monitoring. Allows manager to closely
monitor critical activities while activities with
float given less attention.
• Allocate resources. It allows manager to
allocate the most experienced team members
to the critical activities.
Project Monitoring and Control
• Setting standards and ensuring that they are
followed. team members
