How do you view the critical path: as the longest path or the path with zero float?

Question

Accepted Answer

Critical path is the longest path in a project schedule, representing the shortest time in which the project can be completed.

Critical path is the sequence of tasks that determines the total duration of a project.
It is the longest path through the project network diagram, with zero float or slack.
Any delay in tasks on the critical path will directly impact the project's completion date.
Identifying the critical path helps in focusing resources and managing project timelines effectively.
