Quickly see which tasks can be rescheduled without affecting larger deadlines. Prioritize which tasks must be completed within their estimated window to avoid delays in your project. Note: Add tasks with no time gaps in between the start and end dates to the sequence that leads to the end of the entire group to be included in the critical path. The chain of tasks in the critical path may include time gaps or be missing dependency links. You can turn on notification settings in your form app, but its really easy to ignore those messages when they start to pile up. If Hide Weekends is enabled, then hidden weekends might break a critical path. When a person expresses interest in your product or service, you want to follow up quickly so you dont lose that sale. Why is the Critical path shorter than expected? Note: Because the last task in the group is responsible for the entire group's completion date, it will always be highlighted. The other reason this may occur is no dependency chain has been attached to that last task in the group. This is likely because there is a gap in time between this task and the rest of the tasks in your group. Your Gantt view will be updated instantly!įAQ Why is only the last task in my group (Space, Folder, or List) highlighted? To show Critical Path and Slack Time calculations: If the last task in the critical path is dependent on another task, and there is no time gap in between them, each of the tasks will be added to the path (shown in red). It then looks back from the last task to see which dependent task is blocking the deadline from being completed.

The critical path checks all tasks on the chart and determines the set that would affect the overall project deadline if adjusted. Slack Time is displayed as a dashed bar indicating how much room a task has before it starts affecting the overall project timeline. Slack Time helps you visualize all the wiggle room in your project. Unlimited uses of Gantt tools are included on the Business, Business Plus, and Enterprise Plans
