Project Management

In a construction schedule, the critical path is best described as the path that:

a.Is the shortest route through the network
b.Has the fewest activities regardless of their durations, which makes it the easiest chain for the superintendent to monitor
c.Carries the most float of any path, giving the schedule its flexibility and absorbing delays without moving the finish date
d.Is the longest chain of dependent activities, which sets the shortest possible completion time and has zero float✓

The critical path is the longest chain of dependent activities through the network. Because no other path is longer, it fixes the earliest the project can finish, and every activity on it has zero float, so any slip delays the whole project day for day.Construction Business and Law Manual for Nevada (CPM scheduling)
