Critical path analysis identifies the chain of schedule activities that governs the earliest forecast completion date under the schedule model. In construction, the answer is not simply “look at the longest bar.” The result depends on valid logic, calendars, constraints, status data, and the treatment of float.
A schedule used later for a Time Impact Analysis or forensic delay analysis must have a credible contemporaneous record. Critical-path reporting during the project is part of preserving that record.
HADVEN provides CPM scheduling and Primavera P6 services for baseline development, updates, quality review, and recovery planning.
