Just curious .. can you have two critical paths of exactly the same length (or I am just playing about with words and splitting hairs)?
2009/10/12 Mark Kelly <kel at mckinnonsc.vic.edu.au<mailto:kel at mckinnonsc.vic.edu.au>>
Both are true.  The minimum time to complete all tasks is also the longest path from start to end.

Just depends on which way you look at it.

Dear All,

a critical path for a project is the series of activites that determine the earliest time by which the project can be completed.

Emphasis on "earliest time".

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"

Emphasis on "longest time". Would this answer be accesptable in an exam?
Is it "earliest time" or "longest path" or both is ok.
Thank you for any replies.
