24-25Critical Path Test Prep

Create a CP diagram. (You will turn it in)

Based on the image, what is the critical path?

(I pre-mapped the tasks and their predecessors for you.)

• A, G, H, D, B

• A, B, C, F

• A, B, D, G, H

• A, B, C, E, F

Using a CP you created from this chart, what is the latest we can start project F without a delay in the project?

• Day 5

• Day 14

• Day 16

• Day 19

Using a CP you created from this chart, what is the earliest a team can complete it?

• Day 5

• Day 14

• Day 16

• Day 19

Revise your CP diagram. Once task A was completed, the team ran into a 2-week delay on materials for task E. If task E begins on day 18, what is our new early finish time for the entire project?

• 25 days

• 19 days

• 32 days

• 26 days

What is the critical path in a project?

• The path that uses the least money

• The longest path of tasks that determines the project’s duration

  C. The shortest path

• with the least number of tasks

• The tasks that are the easiest to complete

If a task on the critical path is delayed, what happens to the project?

• Nothing changes

• The project will finish earlier

• The whole project will be delayed

• Only that task will be skipped

What is the float (or slack) time for tasks on the critical path?
A. One week
B. Zero
C. Unlimited
D. As much as the manager wants

• 1 week

• zero

• unlimited

• as much as the team needs
