Document Summary

A network diagram is an official display of the logical relationships among different project activities. The critical path is a sequence of stages where you figure out what the least amount of time is necessary to complete a task with the least amount of slack. So, the critical path is really the longest length of time it will take to complete the project tasks it"s the longest path through the network diagram. It"s a sequence of stages where you figure out what the least amount of time is necessary to complete a task with the least amount of slack. So, the critical path is really the longest length of time it will take to complete the project tasks. When the critical path has been identified, it can clearly be seen where effort cannot be compromised. Adm is a network diagramming technique in which activities are represented by arrows.
