“The critical path method (CPM)

Discuss differences with classmates and offer additional thoughts on why these differences exist. Ana Escobar “The critical path method (CPM) is a technique that’s used by project managers to create a project schedule and estimate the total duration of a project. The CPM method, also known as critical path analysis (CPA), consists in using a network diagram to visually represent the sequences of tasks needed to complete a project. Once these task sequences or paths are defined, their duration is calculated to identify the critical path, which determines the total duration of the project.” (Project Manager, 2022) The critical path is crucial for the completion of a project as it allows me to estimate the duration of the project, completion of 6 months which results in a completion date of 1/1/2020. Essentially use my project charter as a guide for my critical path, I will identify resource constraints, and project risks which are: • Website does not meet user requirements or functionality • Shannon Valley and Steve Quan are not available to contribute to the project until July 15, 2019 • Marketing department has not endorsed the append roach believes they should go with Microsoft SharePoint system • Security of intranet/portal: no external access beyond firewall By remaining within the scheduled timeframe and properly managing all aspects of the project completion of the project should be on or before the scheduled date.
