We assume in CPM analysis that the activity times are independent and therefore the sum of the variances of the activities along the critical path is the variance of the expected time to complete the path.

This assumption holds true in CPM (Critical Path Method) analysis, and is one of the key concepts of the method. By assuming independence and calculating the variances of the activities along the critical path, we can determine the expected time to complete the project and outline the critical path that must be followed in order to complete the project within the given time constraints.
