Question 1

Which of these statements is not a defining quality of the Critical Path?

  1. The Critical Path gives the shortest time the project can complete in.
  2. The Critical Path is the longest path through the project.
  3. The Critical Path determines the scheduled finish date of the project.
  4. The Critical Path contains all the tasks with zero slack time.

Answer: CorrectIncorrect

This is the incorrect statement and thus the right answer. The Critical Path determines the length of the project. But a change to a task on or nearly on the critical path may shorten or lengthen the Critical Path. Therefore a project can always be completed in a shorter time than the critical path if activities perform better than originally estimated.

Question 2

No.  The Critcal Path is the longest path through a project.

No.  The Critical Path does determine the schedule finish date of the project.

No.  Tasks with zero Slack are always classed as critical.
