Critical Path Analysis is an effective and
powerful method of assessing:
Tasks which must be carried out
Where parallel activity can be carried out
The shortest time in which a project can be
completed
Resources needed to achieve a project
The sequence of activities, scheduling, and
timings involved
Task priorities
