Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Activities on the critical path have zero slack, meaning there is no room for delay without delaying the entire project. Therefore, the earliest start and latest start for these activities must be the same in order to maintain the project timeline. The earliest finish and latest finish may be different, as long as the duration of the activity remains constant.
