Just curious .. can you have two critical paths of exactly the same length (or I am just playing about with words and splitting hairs)?<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2009/10/12 Mark Kelly <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:kel@mckinnonsc.vic.edu.au">kel@mckinnonsc.vic.edu.au</a>></span><br>
<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">Both are true. The minimum time to complete all tasks is also the longest path from start to end.<br>
<br>
Just depends on which way you look at it.<div><div></div><div class="h5"><br>

Dear All,<br>
<br>
a critical path for a project is the series of activites that determine the earliest time by which the project can be completed.<br>
<br>
Emphasis on "earliest time".<br>
<br>
In a trial exam my students did some put that the "critical path is the longest path which a project cannot be delayed wthout delaying the entire project"<br>
<br>
Emphasis on "longest time". Would this answer be accesptable in an exam?<br>
Is it "earliest time" or "longest path" or both is ok. <br>
Thank you for any replies. <br>
