Hi Sir, today I had my PMP exam and had cleared it in my first attempt. I must say your videos helped me more than any other study materials.Your way of teaching and clearing the fundamentals made things easier for me while preparing for the exam. Wish you and your team all the success and please continue your good guidance.

[@izenbridge]

Congratulations Krishnadas!! It is encouraging that you found value in our videos. Keep exploring iZenBridge KZbin channel.

[@jabsbabson5299]

I like the 'last man to finish eating' analogy in explaining the critical path. Great explanation, thank you

[@izenbridge]

Glad it was helpful!

[@tonyrich4433]

I'm only 1/2 way through but am fully entertained and getting the lesson. Love the energy, and the eating example. We came together, we leave together, that's it (waving my hands like he did) LOL Thank you for making this!

I concur! There's another video with this critical path example, but he was just rushing through the video. You're taking the time to example how each number comes into a block. Once I saw that I continued watching the video. Your explanation was very clear and concise. I hope you do teach a full video course.

Great video, just 1 question can there be more than one critical path if yes then how to proceed?

[@izenbridge]

Yes you can have more than one critical path and that makes many activities critical, mean risk of delay is increases since any of these activity not completing on time can delay the project.

For the critical path? What if we try to reduce the time by deploying more resources (material and personnel) or say from your example have someone else join the guy to finish the food on time? Is that possible?

[@izenbridge]

That is called crashing , its a schedule compression technique , where we allocate more people to a task to reduce its duration. This video gives some insight on same : kzbin.info/www/bejne/hYa8YYWcfLJ_qq8

thanks for explanation. but it's interesting why source Rita Mulcahy 9th edition gives calculation a bit different ? As per RITA it's > ES + D = EF but as per your explanation it is (which is as per PMBOK6) ES + D -1 = EF.

How do i calculate when activities overlap for example; 4 activities: - activity 1 takes 12 weeks - activity 2 takes 7 weeks but can start 4 weeks early in parallel to activity 1 - activity 3 takes 7 weeks but can start 1 week early in parallel to activity 2 - activity 4 takes 7 weeks but can start 3 weeks early in parallel to activity 3 i'm struggling to find the late start, float and late end as i keep getting minus?
