While reviewing the six-month rollout plan for an enterprise Wi-Fi upgrade, a project manager must flag any schedule activities that have zero float so that even a one-day slip will move the final go-live milestone. Which of the following techniques is the BEST way to pinpoint these time-sensitive activities?
Analyzing the critical path is the best technique because it identifies activities with zero float-those whose delay will directly postpone the project's finish date.
Analyze the critical path: Calculates early/late start and finish dates to reveal tasks with no schedule flexibility.
Use resource smoothing techniques: Adjusts workloads to meet resource limits but does not reveal float.
Perform a qualitative risk analysis: Evaluates probability and impact of risks; it is not a scheduling tool.
Implement fast-tracking on activities: Compresses the schedule by overlapping work, but it presumes the critical tasks have already been identified.
