If the predecessor later changes its finish date, the successor’s start date will remain unchanged. However, you can configure Project so that a manually scheduled task does not move when it is linked to another task. Select File > Options > Schedule. Uncheck the Upda...
Everyone expects that there’s always a way to squeeze the whole project scope into the deadline project owners set. Stakeholders put a lot of pressure on you to find a solution. But, in most cases, there’s no magic formula. Therefore, the only solution is to do less or to request m...
Add together the time it takes to complete each task in the critical path to determine the minimal time it takes to complete the project. After the project starts, use the PERT chart to adjust the times ifcircumstances changeor to ensure the project is finished by its designated deadline. W...
It is also important that the project manager maintains constant communication with all project stakeholders. This not only helps keep everyone informed of progress, but also facilitates the collection of feedback that can lead to significant improvements in project management. The ability to quickly a...
At first, understanding how to calculate critical path, and how to use the critical path method in project management can seem daunting. To calculate the critical path effectively, you need precision and a keen eye for detail. But when you move past the concept of using a lot of data and...
As of May 2023, Adobe has added the power of Adobe Firefly's generative AI capabilities to Photoshop in the form of the new AI Generative Fill tool. This allows text prompts to be used to generate imagery in non-destructive layers directly in Photoshop itself. You can also use the tools ...

Innovation projects in particular present some of the most ambiguous situations. After all, innovation is about creating something new. And if something is new, there’s less of a chance that a predecessor has plotted out a clear example of how to tackle the challenge. ...
Hence, B, C, and D - which are the non-common activities in the second sequence - would have a float of 10. That’s it! You just used the Critical Path Method in a hypothetical project. In the real world, you’ll rarely use network diagrams to chart the critical path. Instead, yo...
