How do you create a critical path for a project?

A method of modeling a project to determine its critical path timelines and ensure that the project is delivered on time.

🔘 Break down the project: list all the tasks to accomplish.
🔘Estimate the duration of each task.
🔘Define task dependencies (a task dependency is the inability to complete one task until another task is completed).
🔘Add project levels (define milestones by which you can track the schedule).

Don't forget to consider some constraints that may affect the project schedule. The more you can account for unpredictable issues, the more accurate your critical path method will be.

🔘Critical paths can be more than one.
🔘The critical path can change during resource planning, during the course of your project.
