Watch this: Show the critical path

Show AllShow All
Hide AllHide All

Keeping a close eye on your project's critical path (critical path: The series of tasks that must be completed on schedule for a project to finish on schedule. Each task on the critical path is a critical task.) is important when you're trying to meet a specific finish date (finish date: The date that a task is scheduled to be completed. This date is based on the task's start date, duration, calendars, predecessor dates, task dependencies, and constraints.).

In this demo, I show several methods for displaying a project's critical tasks (critical task: A task that must be completed on schedule for the project to finish on time. If a critical task is delayed, the project completion date might also be delayed. A series of critical tasks makes up a project's critical path.). I also show how to display multiple critical paths in a single project.
