Critical Path
Any delay of a terminal element on the critical path
directly impacts the planned project completion date (i.e. there is no float on the
critical path).
A project can have several, parallel critical paths. An
additional parallel path through the network with the total durations just shorter than
the critical path is called a sub-critical path.
Originally, the critical path method considered only
logical dependencies among terminal elements. A related concept is the critical chain,
which adds resource dependencies.
The critical path method was invented by the DuPont
corporation.
