Topic #: 4
You are the project manager of the GHQ Project. You are working with your project team to create the project network diagram. You have created the PND and are identifying the critical path with your team using your project management information system. All of the activities on the critical path are showing in red in the software that you are using to evaluate the critical path. What are schedule activities on the critical path called?
Schedule activities on the critical path are called critical activities.
Critical activity is a specific schedule activity on the critical path that takes place within a project
schedule. Critical activities are mainly
determined during the execution and deployment of the critical path method. In project
management terms, critical activity refers to being on
the major critical path, the most important path of life of an activity.
Critical activity can also be defined as the work elements that must be carefully monitored,
documented, and managed to make the success of
an organization, program, or project. An activity that has a total float equal to zero is believed to be
a 'critical activity', which means if an
interruption in the finish time of an activity occurs, then the entire project will be delayed by the
same amount of time. A critical activity
generally has free float equal to zero.
Answer options D, C, and B are incorrect. These are not valid answers for this question.
