What is critical path analysis?
The CPM method was developed in the 1950s
To find the critical path according to CPM, one must build the project network and then perform 3 calculations, in this order:
Forwards calculation
Backwards calculation
Total slack calculation
The HCP method was developed by Tal Levanon in the early 2000s
The HCP method is indifferent to constraints, delays, start to start or finish to finish dependencies,
and to deadlines. HCP is only “interested” in the tasks’ network.
