What is the critical path and how do I see it?

The critical path is the chain of tasks that sets your finish date. If any of these tasks are late, your whole build finishes late.

1. Go to Timeline.
2. Click Critical Path. Critical tasks turn red.
3. Click it again to turn it off.

Tip

• The critical path is worked out from how your tasks are linked. Link your tasks first (see "How do I link tasks in the Timeline?").
• Keep a close eye on red tasks. Delays to these push out your finish date.
