The Critical Path represents the sequence of tasks or events that directly effect the completion of a project. Knowing the Critical Path allows the project manager to shorten or at least control a project's schedule by focusing on those tasks which directly affect the project's completion. This is called Critical Path Management.
In the simple example at left, Tasks 2 and 3 both Start when Task 1 is complete, and Task 4 Start s when tasks 2 and 3 are both complete. Since Task 2 takes 5 days, and Task 3 tasks only one day, it is obvious that Task 2 drives the Start of Task 4, and thus the completion of the project.
The Critical Path in this example is the sequence of tasks 1, 2, and 4. If any one of those lengthens (or shortens) by a day, the project's completion will change by that amount.
Up to a point Task 3's duration does not affect the project completion; Task 3 is said to be 'Off the Critical Path". However, if Task 3 were to change to 6 days duration, it would now dictate the Start of Task 4; Task 3 would be On the Critical Path, and Task 2 would be Off.
It is common practice to identify the Critical Path in RED to make it stand out, as shown in the diagram.
The way to shorten a project's schedule is to focus on shortening the duration of the tasks on the critical path (i.e. paying more for expedited delivery of a crucial component.)
NOTE: You can't make the Critical Path go away. - No matter how hard you work to shorten your projects schedule, there will still always be some critical path. Shortening some tasks just moves the critical path over to other tasks that haven't been optimized yet
