Define the Highlights of Critical Path Method

• A network analysis technique used to predict project duration by analyzing which sequence of activities has the least amount of schedule flexibility (float)
• Early dates are calculated by a forward pass using a specified start date
• Late dates are calculated by a backwards pass using a specified completion date (usually the early finish date)
• Uses deterministic dates (for example, the most likely date the activity will occur)
• Single duration estimate for each activity
• Start date and calculated Early Finish and Late Finish dates for each activity
• Primary focus when analyzing the project is on calculating float.
