What is the Critical Path?

The critical path in a Gantt chart is the sequence of activities that determines the earliest completion date of a project. It represents the longest path of interdependent tasks that must be completed on time for the project to finish as scheduled. Any delay in a task on the critical path will result in a delay in the entire project completion.

The critical path helps project managers identify the most important tasks and allocate resources efficiently to ensure that the project stays on schedule.
