Explanation:

Slack of an activity

  • It is the difference between the Earliest Start time and Latest Finish time.
  • If the Slack of any activity is positive then it means that resources are surplus and the project is not delayed.
  • If the slack of an activity is negative then it means that resources are lacking and the project will be delayed and will not be completed on the time, additional resources are required to complete the project.
  • If the slack of an activity is zero then resources are just enough to complete the project and the project will be completed on time, this type of activity is critical any delay in this activity will delay the project completion by the same time.
