During schedule development, a project manager constructs a network diagram and wants to know which set of dependent activities drives the earliest possible finish date for the entire project. Which sequence of activities establishes the minimum overall project duration?
The shortest sequence of tasks in the project
The tasks with the highest resource allocation
The longest sequence of tasks that cannot be delayed without delaying the project
The correct choice is the longest sequence of tasks that cannot be delayed without delaying the entire project, known as the critical path. Because this path has zero total float, any slip in one of its activities directly extends the project completion date. Other paths have float or slack, so their activities may slip without affecting the final finish date.
