Question

In the context of schedule control, what does the term "float" or "slack" represent?

Answers
  1. correct
Explanation

Correct Answer: C

Float or slack represents the flexibility within a project schedule, specifically the duration an activity can be delayed without causing a delay to the overall project completion date. Activities on the critical path have zero float, meaning any delay will directly impact the project's end date. Non-critical path activities have positive float, allowing project managers to prioritize and reallocate resources more strategically while maintaining schedule integrity.
