Critical paths

How is the critical path calculated and how can I see it?

RE: Critical paths

Hi Alex

Thank you for your question.

The Critical Path in MS Project identifies those tasks that dictate when your plan will finish. They have no Slack which means if they change (duration, delay) your end date will also change.

You can quickly see the Critical Path by switching to the Tracking Gantt view (View > Tracking Gantt). Critical tasks are highlighted in red.

I hope this helps - do let us know if you have any further questions.

Kind regards,
Andrew
