you’ve probably heard of cpm scheduling at some point. while you may feel like you don’t need to concern yourself with it, there’s decent likelihood that you’ll be up to your armpits in the critical path method once that big project gets rolling. yes, primavera p6<\/a> does run all sorts of fancy algorithms when you hit f9 – but having at least a fundamental knowledge of how cpm scheduling works is going to help you go far as a planner\/scheduler.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

what is cpm scheduling?<\/h2>\n

first things first: cpm stands for critical path methodology. the critical path methodology<\/a> is a mathematical algorithm<\/a> for scheduling project activities.<\/p>\n

in simpler terms, i like to say that “cpm scheduling assigns dates to activities.” but it does a bit more than that as well.<\/p>\n

cpm scheduling produces 3 distinct pieces of information:<\/p>\n
