Is the path that connects the critical activities which starts from the beginning of the project and ends at the end of the project, which is the longest path in terms of the length of time in the networking scheme. On this path there is no time margin for maneuver in the implementation of any task due to lack of time in excess of any task on this track.

Thank you for the invitation

A critical path need not be only the longest path. It constitutes all the critical activities where the total float = zero.
