Critical Path Analysis
The very first critical path analysis diagrams where drawn
during the 50’s Morgan R. Walker of DuPont and James E. Kelley the most
important thing to know about this diagrams is that they always have begging and an end to when they finish, they
also include a time period of how long each task will take. In the business environment
this is very important for the team manager so they can keep track of time and
whether they have completed the task or not which is the most important
perspective of the chart.
Benefits: this type of chart is great to use since it
clearly states how long each task should take but because the chart works with
estimations the time of when a task is started and ended can give flexibility
to the project manager, in case of a technical failure approaches the team
members. Expansion of the task can also be adjusted to the task all in order to
up bring the teams end result of the task set. For example, to add an extra picture
on the makings of a new webpage.
Drawbacks: Although this chart gives out a great number of
detail to the project manager it’s takes a long time to produce meaning not all
project leaders will be prospered to take their time to draw something in their
time when they can be getting with something worth the while such as the task.
