MicroNugget: What is a Critical Path in Microsoft Project 2013?

In this video, Anthony Sequeira covers using Microsoft Project 2013 to view your project's critical path. That's the relationship between your project completion date and the tasks pushing that date out. With the right view, you can see which tasks have wiggle room, and which have to get prioritized.

There might not be a piece of information more critical for a project manager than the project's completion date. And one of the pillars of project management is having insight into which tasks are contributing to that end date. That's what makes Microsoft Project 2013 so great: you can set up a project's tasks to have a certain duration and dependency with other tasks within the project. Once you know those, the program can automatically predict the end date for your project. But projects and tasks are complicated, and some need slack or "wiggle room." So it's also possible to configure your view so that you can separate hard deadlines from the soft, and get a firm sense of what your critical path to project completion is.
