Latest Finish Time: The latest point in the schedule at which a task can finish without causing a delay. From a practical standpoint, critical path analysis is all about creating "breathing room", to identify the tasks that must start and end at a specific point in time, versus those tasks...
If it's important for your project to finish on schedule, pay close attention to the tasks on the critical path and the resources assigned to them. If a critical task takes longer than expected or a resource is suddenly unavailable for a critical task, the project will not...
Project management tip: When viewing multiple critical paths, don’t forget that there's still only one main critical path. If it falls behind schedule, the whole project falls behind schedule. Try these tips to make better use of multiple critical paths in a project...

Upon completing a project schedule, Roberta finds the critical path indicates the project will complete on April 15. As she works through the schedule, she finds there are several tasks with float. Task B has 10 days of free float, while Task F has 5 days of total float. If the start ...
APM describes the Critical Path Method as “a scheduling technique used to identify the sequence of activities that must be completed on time for the entire project to be completed on schedule. It identifies tasks that are critical and those that have float.” ...

Fast-tracking is one of the techniques used by project managers when needing schedule compression. Another technique that project managers is called project crashing. More on that in a moment. Whichever technique you use, controlling your schedule, especially manipulating it to get done quickly, is...
Critical chain is a schedule network analysis technique that modifies the project schedule to account for limited resources. Critical chain combines deterministic and probabilistic approaches. Initially, the project schedule network diagram is build using non-conservative estimates for activity durations within...
