Critical Path Mode in Project Management

The Critical Path Mode helps analyze the timing of project tasks, ensuring that essential tasks are completed on time to meet the project deadline.

Enabling and Setting Up the Critical Path:

  1. Enable the Critical Path checkbox to configure task preferences.
  2. Set Task Priorities to define the order in which users should work on tasks.

Steps to Set Task Priority:

  1. Create Tasks and assign them to users.
  2. View the assigned tasks in the Gantt chart.
  3. Enable the Critical Path checkbox.
  4. Hover over an assigned task to see a small circle at the end of the taskbar.
  5. Drag the circle and place it next to another task (marked in Red) to set task dependencies and priorities.

  • Once the priority is set, you will see the task order displayed in the Gantt chart.

    For example:

    • The user should first work on Task "Drop th……", followed by Task "Gelato".
    • Similarly, you can set priorities for multiple tasks to establish a clear workflow.

  • This helps ensure that users focus on the most critical tasks first, improving project efficiency and deadline management.
