PK0-003 · Question #307
Click on the exhibit button. Which of the following is the critical path?
The correct answer is D. Start-A-D-end. The critical path is the longest sequence of activities in a project network diagram, which determines the shortest possible duration for the entire project.

Why each option
The critical path is the longest sequence of activities in a project network diagram, which determines the shortest possible duration for the entire project.
This path has a shorter total duration than the critical path, meaning it has some float and can be delayed without impacting the project end date.

This path has a shorter total duration than the critical path, meaning it has some float and can be delayed without impacting the project end date.
The path Start-A-D-end represents the sequence of activities that, when summed for their individual durations, results in the longest total duration for the project. This means it has zero float and any delay on this path will delay the entire project.
