Answer 1

Network analysis is one of the classic methods of planning and controlling the progress of projects. in this regard we would do the critical path analysis. The longest duration path through the network is known as CRITICAL PATH. If we do not want to delay the completion time, activities on the critical path cannot be delayed.
