message: A better definition of critical path is:  the longest path of interdependent activities in a schedule network, whereby if any activity on the critical path is delayed by a certain duration, the project completion will be delayed by the same duration.
The critical path will be the path with the least amount of float, but many experts believe the critical path of a schedule should have no float. While it is possible for a critical path to have float, such float is most likely the result of a project completion constraint (i.e., a "Must Finish" constraint) in the scheduling software, which will give a project that is ahead of schedule postitive float and a project that is behind schedule negative float. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Pkurtross (talk • contribs) 19:28, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

message: I am in no way a management expert, but If I'm not mistaken, the whole notion of "critical path" originated as a concept in philosophy, in Immanuel Kant's Critique of Pure Reason. If that's the case -- and if this isn't a matter of the same term being reinvented for use in an entirely different sense -- it really ought to be mentioned here. --Michael K.

message: This was obviously written by someone who doesn't have a clue about either CPM or Critical Path Analysis. CPM was initially developed as a computer program. I'll try to come back and rewrite. I suspect this piece of garbage was put together by someone who had just completed their first PM training course.

message: Not only the Navy, but the Army Corps of Engineers.  One Col. 'C E Stasik' as a more junior officer in the early 1950's is supposed to have written a monograph on the subject prior to his tenure as an instructor at the Army War College in the 50's and 60's but I am not certain of the precise relation either to earlier work that DuPont did, or to concurrent or later developments.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.35.46.178 (talk) 01:13, 17 August 2022 (UTC)
