Critical Path Method [CPM]

Venkataramiah S Annapragada
24/12/2018 0 0

 This method involves the following steps :

  • Calculate the Duration for all activities on the Task Network Diagram.
  • Calculate the early start [ES], early finish [EF], late start [LS] and Late Finish [LF] for all activities by using Forward pass and Backward pass techniques.
  • Identify the number of paths on the Network Diagram.
  • Calculate the total duration of each path.
  • Identify the path with the longest duration. This path is called Critical Path.
  • The Critical Path Duration will be the MINIMUM Project Duration.
  • Calculate Total Float for all activities with the formula [LS-ES] or [LF-EF].
  • Total Float is the amount of time an activity can be delayed without delaying the project finish date. The float is also called as Slack.
  • Identify Activities on Critical Path. These will have zero float which means they HAVE to start and finish on time.
