Flexibility in starting activity without delaying whole project

Formula: Float time

Float=LSTEST\text{Float} = \text{LST} - \text{EST}

EST (Earliest Starting Time)

Earliest time activity can begin after project start

EST rule for multiple predecessors

Use the LARGEST value

LST (Latest Starting Time)

Latest time activity can start without delaying project

LST rule for multiple following activities

Use the SMALLEST value

Critical activities

Activities with zero float time (EST = LST)

Critical path

Path of all critical activities; longest path through network
