I just posted a new article “Whaddya Do When the Critical Path Changes?” on my blog. The article shows how a delay during project execution that changes the critical path requires new analysis of the value, drag, and true cost of the new critical path activities. And how failure to perform such analysis often results in work being performed that costs more than its worth.
The article uses standard network diagrams, but expanded with information from the value breakdown structure (VBS), critical path drag and drag cost computation. (And, if you want to, it presents an opportunity to exercise your drag cost computation skills.)
Fraternally in project management,
Steve the Bajan
