Show/hide the critical path

The critical path is the sequence of processes/operations that defines the longest path of the project. The project cannot be executed in a shorter time than the critical path. A project might have more than one critical path. In the case of a single critical path, if you make a modification that shortens the duration of any of the elements, you shorten the overall duration of the project.

Procedure

1. Click the Mark Critical Path button to display or hide the critical path.

If there is more than one critical path in the Gantt chart or some alternative paths have the same critical path length, Teamcenter shows all the critical paths.

2. (Optional) Click to view the duration of the critical path.

Teamcenter displays the read-only Critical Path Length dialog box.
