Enable Critical path in View on the operations bar. The critical path is highlighted, while other task bars and dependencies are shown in a pale color. The WBS display cannot be edited when the critical path is displayed. Issues which are not loaded are not included.

Way to make critical paths

Calculation of critical path
The critical path is calculated as follows.

  1. All issues with the latest planned finish dates are identified.

  2. Where the issues identified in Step 1 have dependencies, the issues with the latest planned finish dates are selected.

  3. Step 2 is repeated for all issues identified in Step 2. The calculation ends if the issues do not have any dependencies.
