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 Log in or register to post comments

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.
