Pocket PMOCritical path method software for schedule control
Find the activities that drive your finish date so the team can focus attention on schedule risk and delivery constraints.
A connected workflow, not another isolated file
Pocket PMO keeps project management techniques close to the rest of the project record so decisions can be based on consistent data.
- Identify schedule-driving activities
- Understand dependencies and float
- Use critical path insight to guide status reviews
How teams use it
- Step 1
Capture activities, durations, and dependencies.
- Step 2
Calculate the critical path and available float.
- Step 3
Review schedule risk and adjust plans before delays compound.
Frequently asked questions
Why is the critical path important?
The critical path identifies the sequence of activities that determines the project finish date, helping teams focus on the work that most affects delivery.
Can CPM be used with PERT?
Yes. Teams often use PERT to improve duration estimates and CPM to understand the schedule path those estimates create.
