What is Critical Path Method (CPM) Scheduling?

​

The Critical Path Method (CPM), or Critical Path Analysis (CPA), is an algorithm for scheduling a set of project activities. A critical path is determined by identifying the longest stretch of dependent activities and measuring the time required to complete them from start to finish.
