CLASSMATE'S POST:
The critical path is important to the project schedule and team members because it provides a visual representation of the schedule. The schedule provides the anticipated start date as well as end date. While monitoring the schedule, if deviations with time are present or issues arise, the issues could actually change the end schedule and projects strive to stay on time. So as Turner 2016, suggests, the critical path importance is recorded dates and times of the project which determines:
• Benefits are obtained at a timescale that justifies the expenditure
• Coordination effort of resources
• To enable the resources to be made available with required
• Predict the levels of money and resources required at different times so that priorities can be assigned among projects
• Ability to meet a rigid end date.
