Introduction to Critical Path Method and Critical Path Analysis A project usually consists of multiple activities, which occur simultaneously and sequentially. To determine the flow of these activities, you’ll need to create a Precedence Diagram. After creating the Precedence Diagram, you can identify the activities, which if delayed, will make your project come in late. This is the Critical Path definition. A delay in any of the critical path activities will delay the entire project, regardless of whether the other project activities are completed on or before time. The act of determining the Critical Path is known as the Critical Path Method or the Critica Path Analysis. In this article, we'll look at how to use the critical path method or critical path analysis by using critical path examples. To learn about the pros and cons of the critical path method, read the Advantages and Disadvantages of the Critical Path Method article. To determine the Critical Path and conduct Cr...
