PK0-003 · Question #460
Which of the following are characteristics of a projects critical path? (Select Two).
The correct answer is A. The critical path is the longest duration. D. The critical path has less than or equal to zero float time.. The critical path is the longest sequence of activities in a project, determining the minimum possible project duration, and it has zero or negative float time.

Why each option
The critical path is the longest sequence of activities in a project, determining the minimum possible project duration, and it has zero or negative float time.
The critical path is defined as the sequence of project activities that determines the earliest possible completion date for the project, making it the longest duration path through the project network diagram.
The critical path is not directly characterized by the amount of resources required; its definition focuses on duration and dependencies.
The critical path represents the longest duration through the project, not the shortest, as it dictates the minimum time required to complete the project.
Activities on the critical path have zero total float, meaning any delay in these activities will directly delay the entire project's completion; in scenarios where the project is behind schedule, critical path activities may even exhibit negative float.
Activities with a greater than zero float time are non-critical activities, meaning they have some scheduling flexibility without impacting the project's overall completion date.
