Project-Speak: Critical Path Analysis
Considering the nature of most projects, critical path analysis can be a mind numbing experience. But every project schedule is a living entity, which must be continually monitored and manipulated. From a practical standpoint, critical path analysis is all about "breathing room" .... to find the tasks with float, versus tasks that must start and end at a specific point in time.
What's on the critical path in your projects? How can you use critical path to calculate "early or late" start and finish dates? Read this article for steps and guidelines to help you the critical path, and to calculate related "early/late start and finish" possibilities.

Project execution begins with a plan, but project planning begins
with a vision. You have to understand the "who, what, when, where,
how and why" of your project.
The Project Planning Roadmap, from ITtoolkit.com, is a simple, straightforward planning tool, showing you how to define and document these critical elements, and helping you craft a "planning framework" for all your projects.
