Freaking awesome video! You did something that seems foreign to most of my professors...you actually taught the ENTIRE process. Not just the main points then sent us home to watch youtube to learn the conceptual part (which is pretty darn important) as is the reason I'm watching your video.
Great tutorial, just have one question. If you arranged those same tasks in a different order, is the project always going to have the same total duration?
Thank You...this Kenyan education system be tripping...they had complicated this simple issue I thought We were rocket building or some....Great teaching
Thats according to the new PMBOK. It adds one day between the tasks. However, traditionally, this was not done. So it depends which procedure u use. This video uses the older procedure.
In this tutorial, you say add the early start to the duration equals the early finish, but I have heard and read that the early start + duration -1 is the early finish? Please clarify. Do you subtract 1 or just early start plus duration is fine?
While manually doing calculations, suggested method is easy for computations. Assuming a duration of 3 and project starting on day 0, would mean an Early finish of Day 3. Subsequent activity will start after day 3.
Why did you put the same number of start and finish as early finish and early start for different units? if you finish something on Wednessday you can start next task only on Thursday! Seems that project is 49 days - not 45 day
There are two different methods that are used. It makes it easy if you are solving problem manually. However, in end, you should end up with same total duration of the project.
0 days is correct. In reality no task can ever be started 1 day into the task. That would mean that the first 24 hours of the task were spent doing nothing. Zero sets the task at the beginning of day 1.
Finally, a straight-forward (and backward) explanation. Thank you!
This has been the best explanation of critical path I have seen.
I had 5 different people explain this to me in a different method! You seriously saved my life!
+Hassan Hussein Many thanks for feedback.
Thanks for sharing. This is by far the clearest and most to the point video I have seen here on TH-cam about Critical Path Method.

this is the best explanation without over complicating things. Thanks!
Out of the 5 videos I watched, this one made the most sense. Thanks!
This video is helpful!
I'm doing the project management module right now. And you explain so much clearer than my lecturer. Thanks and keep it up. :)
I love this project illustration. Well done Sir!
Great video and great and great explanation of the critical path method. Very easy to understand. Thank you.
Thank you for this straightforward and easy to understand video!
Glad that it helped

Thank you for the tutorial, it was very helpful.
wow this makes it look so easy thank you!!
Great tutorial, just have one question. If you arranged those same tasks in a different order, is the project always going to have the same total duration?
Order is given by logical constraints so you can not change the order.

How can I calculate the total float for non critical path and critical path
?
great explanation thank you
My professor should have watched your videos...
perfection!!!! thanks mehn!!
Muy buena explicación y muy claro el ejemplo, ojalá pudieran aparecer subtitulos en español, nos sería muy útil a los hispano parlantes. Thank you.
Can anyone let me know if dummy activity can be on the critical path ?
Not really.
In this tutorial, you say add the early start to the duration equals the early finish, but I have heard and read that the early start + duration -1 is the early finish? Please clarify. Do you subtract 1 or just early start plus duration is fine?

Thanks a lot !!!! Awesome !!!

nice one prof!!
Is it possible that every path can be critical path?
Thank you
Yes it is possible. But such a project will be very risky and sensitive
fantastic.
Thanks for liking
man, this is the easiest way i have found on calculating floats...
thank you!
I am working on a critical path problem that begins with 2 tasks. If only one of my tasks has zero slack in the end is this still correct?
Yes - it will show you that the task with the slack could start later than the critical path. That is unless you calculated something incorrectly.
Thank you!
anyone else notice the letters of the critical path contain DGAF
LMAO
Its alot easier than using the "1"
Thanks TH-cam
Thank you.
thanks man...
Cheers!!
very cool/good. ....
thank you..!!
This is not the way CPM is calculated in the PMBok 5th edition. There is no "zero" day - what does that even mean?
0 days is correct. In reality no task can ever be started 1 day into the task. That would mean that the first 24 hours of the task were spent doing nothing. Zero sets the task at the beginning of day 1.
i got it...thx...
