Scheduling and time management

(CPM) is a fundamental project management technique used to determine the longest sequence of dependent tasks that must be completed for a project to be finished on time. This sequence of tasks is known as the critical path. The CPM was first developed in the late 1950s and has since been widely adopted for project scheduling

and control in various industries.

CPM involves the following key steps:

Identifying all project tasksDetermining task dependenciesEstimating task durations

Calculating the earliest and latest start and finish times for each task

The critical path represents the sequence of tasks that directly affects the project’s overall duration. Any delay in a critical path task will result in a delay in the project completion date, unless the delay is addressed through corrective action.

Highlights tasks that have the most significant impact on project duration

Helps optimise resource allocationEnables “what-if” scenario analysis.

To effectively apply CPM, project managers often use specialised software that can handle complex calculations and visualise schedules. These too
