6. Using the critical path method

The critical path method is used to estimate the minimum duration of the project, without initially taking into account any resource limitations.

The total project margin is then zero, and any activity on this critical path is called a critical activity.

Planning software automatically identifies the critical path of the project, showing its critical tasks.

This method aims to identify the sequences of activities that represent the longest path of a project, which determines its shortest possible duration.

Now take a look at the advantages and limitations of this method.
