The critical path refers to the sequence of activities in a project that, if delayed, would cause delays in the entire project. It is like a flowchart of activities that need to be completed in order for the project to finish. Activities on the critical path need to be prioritized to ensure the project stays on track.
While the critical path is initially set up during the project planning phase, it may change as the project progresses. It requires continuous monitoring and evaluation to identify any potential delays or changes that could impact the project timeline.
Calculating the critical path involves performing forward and backward pass calculations to determine the float or slack in each activity. This allows project managers to assess the impact of delays or changes on the overall project schedule.
