Critical Path analysis in Legal Reform Projects

Critical Path Analysis (CPA) is a project management tool that sets out all the individual activities that make up a larger project; shows the order in which activities have to be undertaken; shows which activities can only taken place once other activities have been completed; shows which activities can be undertaken simultaneously, thereby reducing the overall time taken to complete the whole project; shows when certain resources will be needed. This process determines which activities are "critical" (i.e., on the longest path) and which have "total float" (i.e., can be delayed without making the project longer). This is a suitable project management tool for legal reform projects as well.
