The critical path for your project is very close in length to the near-critical path. What does this tell you? Your project has higher risk because these two paths are of similar length. You don't need to worry about the length of the near-critical path; by definition, only the critical path is critical You should focus on increasing the length of the near-critical path; otherwise, it could threaten the team's ability to complete the critical path on schede Having two paths of similar length makes the project less risky
