Which one is not correct about the critical path method (CPM) in project management? Duration of a project is equal to the duration of its critical path. There could be more than one critical paths. Crashing a project is shortening the duration of the critical activities. The tasks on the critical path can be delayed without delaying the project duration. Slack times of activities on a critical path are zero.
Homework Answers
1. D. The tasks on the critical path can be delayed without delaying the entire project.
Critical path method works on the assumptions that there is a
particular chain which has the longest duration and slack value of
0. Since we have made the following assumptions, we can say that
any slack introduced to the chain would end up increasing the
duration of the project.
