Critical task

Hi Chris,



I think you might be confusing Free Slack with Total Slack.



Free Slack (or Free Float) is the time available in a project network before a preceding task(s) delays the start date of succeeding task(s).



Total Slack (or Total Float) is the time available in a project network before a task delays the project end date.



Free Float can be 0days and not on be the critical path, whereas tasks with 0days Total Float will be.



Regards,



Darren
