Delivery management - Concept
Critical path
The chain of tasks that determines the earliest a project can finish
What's it for?
Shows which sequence of tasks directly determines the earliest possible finish date.
For example…
The launch date depends on the new environment being ready first
Testing cannot start until the new environment and migrated data are ready, so delays on those tasks sit on the project's critical path
Think of it like…
The slowest conveyor in a factory line: speeding up other belts does not finish the product any sooner
