Critical Path
What do i specifically need to input to generate a critical path. I have put together a basic programme and linked some of the tasks but the system does not produce a critical path. Do i need to link all items with predecessors?

RE: Critical Path
Hello Seamus,
Thank you for your question. To show the critical path in MS Project, you need to go to the Gantt Chart Format tab, then tick the box next to Critical Tasks.
Your tasks do not necessarily need to be linked to show critical path. Project will shade the task or combination of linked tasks which determine the finish date of your project in red.
I hope this helps.
Kind regards
