A project manager wants to identify which activities, if delayed, will delay the entire project's completion date. Which technique should the project manager use to find these activities?
Perform risk analysis to identify high-risk activities.
Use Critical Path Method to identify critical activities.
Apply resource leveling to adjust activity schedules.
Conduct a cost-benefit analysis on all project activities.
The Critical Path Method is used to identify the sequence of activities that determines the project's minimum completion time. Activities on this path have zero float, meaning any delay directly impacts the project's finish date. By applying the Critical Path Method, the project manager can pinpoint these crucial activities. Resource leveling adjusts resource allocation but doesn't identify critical activities. Cost-benefit analysis evaluates financial aspects but doesn’t reveal scheduling priorities. Risk analysis identifies potential risks but doesn't specify which activities control the project duration.
