When there are multiple crticle paths in a project, it means, the project has been divided into multiple phases. Project manager should ensure timely completion of multiple critical paths in order to complete the project on time..

This is where a Forensic Schedule Analyst should step in analyzing the schedule, calculate schedule Drag and provide PM a good schedule with single (longest) critical path. Or satisfy the PM with the multiple paths as sometimes there is more than one critical path like we have a project of construction of12 buildings in the different locations of the city as one project with duration of satisfying one building construction only, here we have12 critical paths but the longest should still one.

I suggest splitting the project into multiple ones to maintain no more than one critical pathe per project. If this is not doable, get an assistance project manager for each critical path.

Every project should have one critical path only other hand the time table designer should redo the time schedule to have only one critical path to have some floating bars.

He must put the following issues in his consideration

1.risk analysis for each path

2 . priority matrix for each path.

3.nature of each path

Then filtration and prioritization must be done for all these paths
