Critical Path

Hi All, We All Know About the Critical Activities. Bu Can Any One Explain Me How this critical Activities changes on a weekly/Monthly. Will there be a new critical activities formed while progressing? or any such?

As long as your schedule is logically driven, activities can become critical & non critical depends upon the progress you make. Once you schedule (F9 in P3/6) the job after updates, it will recalculate the critical path (CP) and your TF (total float) for each task would/may change. Hope this helps, however feel free for any further query. Regards,

thanks for the Reply. One More Quest. Does We Call the Negative Floated activity too Critical Activity or in Some other Term

Project Controls team generally define whats the critical.. I have seen treating TF<5 as critical. Coming back to your question, -ve float definitely makes the activity critical as long as its logic driven.. Hope this answers ,

we can have several critical path, but one and only one Hypercritical Path. It depend from the project set up, its a good practice to kepp a positive float between the hypercritical and the project end, this gaves us a contingency buffer to manage with to balance the critical path weekly/monthly movement. In large scale projecy (> 2 years) is good pratice to indicate TF < 30 at least. While updating the network the CP will always change, the importante is to puth in place remedial actions to be back on track.
