Critical Path

Hi Naresh,

Thank you for your question. MS Project calculates the Critical path for you and it shows the critical tasks in red. Also if you apply the Schedule table to the Gantt Chart, it will show you the Total and Free slack values.

It is a bit of a detailed process to explain in a response, so I have included a link to a site with a good explanation.

Basically, it uses the earliest and latest start and finish dates to work out the slack or float values. If the total slack is 0 then it is critical if above 0 non critical.

Please find the following link:

I hope this helps.

Simon
