critical path analysis

critical path analysis

Procedure used in the management of complex projects to minimize the amount of time taken. The analysis shows which subprojects can run in parallel with each other, and which have to be completed before other subprojects can follow on.

By identifying the time required for each separate subproject and the relationship between the subprojects, it is possible to produce a planning schedule showing when each subproject should be started and finished in order to complete the whole project most efficiently. Complex projects may involve hundreds of subprojects, and computer applications packages for critical path analysis are widely used to help reduce the time and effort involved in their analysis. The critical path is the sequence of project elements with the longest overall duration.
