dependency-critical-path-analyzer

To identify the critical path and calculate float, the analyzer performs forward and backward passes on task dependencies to determine the longest sequence of dependent tasks and compute total and free float for schedule risk assessment.

Analyzing schedule risk from CSV or JSON task dependencies involves computing the critical path method to surface near-critical paths, identify convergence points, and generate prioritized actions to protect the project schedule.

Yes, you can use Markdown tables to define tasks for critical path analysis, as the tool accepts flexible inputs including CSV, JSON, Markdown tables, and interactive data entry to construct the dependency graph.

Float calculation reveals blockers by computing total and free float for each task, exposing near-critical activities with minimal slack that could delay the overall project duration if they slip.

A critical path report for schedule risk assessment includes the computed critical path, float calculations for all tasks, identified near-critical paths, convergence points, and prioritized recommendations to mitigate schedule delays.

No, you do not need specific project management software to run CPM forward and backward passes, as the analyzer independently processes task dependencies from standard formats like CSV, JSON, and Markdown to produce a reproducible CPM workflow.
