The amount of time that a schedule activity can be delayed without delaying the early start of any successor activity is termed:
A) Total Float
B) Total Slack
C) Free Float
D) Free Time
This week’s correct answer is:
C
“On any network path, the schedule flexibility is measured by the amount of time that a schedule activity can be delayed or extended from its early start date without delaying the project finish date or violating a schedule constraint, and is termed “total float.” Once the total float for a network path has been calculated, then the free float—the amount of time that a schedule activity can be delayed without delaying the early start date of any successor or violating a schedule constraint—can also be determined.”
