Copyright 03/15/ Task A Task C Task B Task D Task E Task F Demonstration Pert Chart Task G Task H Even though Task A and Task H are the critical time path Task D is the critical technical factor for completing the project on schedule. If Task D extends past the node at the end of A this will force the project to be late.

Copyright 03/15/ Task A (More People Working) Task C Task B Task D Task E Task F Demonstration Pert Chart Task G (More People Working) Task H We need several ways of looking at the critical path. Task A and Task G may be able to be implemented to reduce the risk of a project overrun.
