I feel like I saw something about total float depending on the project schedule, but that might be for non-critical tasks.

I’m a bit confused; can the critical path ever have negative float? I don’t recall that being a thing.

I'm a bit confused on this one. I know the total float has something to do with the flexibility in the schedule, but I can't recall if it can be negative for the critical path. Guess I'll have to reason it through.

The total float of the critical path is always zero, right? That's what I remember from the lectures. I'm pretty confident about that.

Hmm, this is a tricky one. I'm not totally sure if the total float can be negative or not. I'll have to think it through carefully.

I think the total float of the critical path has to be zero or positive, since the critical path determines the minimum project duration. I'll double-check the definitions to be sure.

If the total float of the critical path is negative, does that mean the project is already behind schedule? Yikes!

I was tempted to choose option C, but then I remembered that the critical path has no slack, so the total float has to be zero.
BE

I'm not a big fan of option A. The total float of the critical path definitely can't be 'any number'.
AL

SA
