This demo shows how to use the Gantt Chart's critical path feature. The critical path is the longest sequence of tasks that must be completed on time for the project to finish on schedule.
Project Description: Office Renovation with Multiple Critical Paths
This Gantt Chart example represents a realistic Office Renovation Project involving structural work,
systems
installation, interior finishes, and furniture setup. The project is designed to demonstrate multiple
critical paths, reflecting real-world project complexity where several parallel task sequences determine
the
project's overall duration.
Key Characteristics:
- The project starts with parallel procurement activities for construction materials, electrical
equipment,
and furniture.
- Site preparation and structural work form the foundation for downstream tasks.
- Multiple installation tasks such as Plumbing, Electrical, HVAC, and Painting run in parallel.
- Interior Finishes and Furniture Setup converge with critical dependencies on both material deliveries
and
prior construction phases.
- Final Testing, Inspections, and Project Completion rely on the successful, timely execution of all
critical paths.
