If you want to accelerate your project, there is a part of the project (system) that the greatest impact on shortening the duration of Reality? Resources, resource managers, project managers, tasks, suppliers, customers, communication, tracking, motivation, team? Maybe all.
The Critical Path is the longest sequence of tasks in a project, it is also the shortest sequence of tasks in a project. Because it is the longest path of the project, determine the total duration of the project. And, it also determines how quickly the project can be completed. If you one day delay on the critical path, all other things being equal, the project will finish in one day later. If you have one day to save one of these tasks, the project will finish in one day earlier.
Attention to these tasks makes sense. More specifically, the one currently in the work of the project and tell you, right now, is getting better or worse.
Critical Path How many tasks in the work at the same time? Better one. Not two, not zero. There should be only a Critical Path. It is easier to manage the project if you just need a job to look at once. That if you watch a task, and it is slow and it’s getting late, you can help this task to get done. Look at the next Critical Path tasks. If you shorten them, the shortened duration of the project. This is where you focus your attention on the program crash. Even if the Critical Path tasks changes as more or less time than planned to take, you can probably Predict where the trail moves and what the next task will be critical. Will it be another chain of nearly equal length.
Try not to concentrate on anything. It does not work. Watch your Critical Path. That is where the action is important. It is crucial. That is where to focus first case delays Pls. Managing is easier. Your projects go faster.
