Study Notes

Critical Path in Project's Work Breakdown Structure (WBS)

The critical path is the sequence of tasks that determines the minimum duration required to complete a project.
Tasks on the critical path have zero slack time, meaning that any delay will delay the entire project.

Impact of Delay on Critical Path Tasks

If a task on the critical path is delayed, the entire project will be delayed.

Moving Tasks Off the Critical Path

A task should be moved off the critical path when possible to reduce the overall project duration and increase flexibility in the project schedule.
