Reply To: Why might my critical path be disappearing

[Eric Uyttewaal]

Hi Dan, There are exactly 7 possible causes of an incomplete Critical Path:
1) Incomplete Network Logic
2) Constraint Dates
3) Elapsed Durations or elapsed lags
4) Resource Calendars
5) Task Calendars
6) External Predecessors
7) Workload leveling
Or any combination of these. If you are interested in a detailed explanation of why these features in Microsoft Project can ‘break’ your Critical Path and how you cna repair a broken Critical Path, please order a copy of my textbook ‘Forecast Scheduling’ on http://www.projectprocorp.com
