This document is a white paper that outlines the principles and methodologies of Critical Path Mapping and Schedule Risk Analysis (SRA) in project management. It emphasizes the importance of efficiency and timeliness in project execution, highlighting the Critical Path Method (CPM) as a key technique for identifying critical tasks that affect project timelines. The paper discusses how Safran Risk enhances the CPM by enabling project managers to evaluate the impact of uncertainties and risks on project schedules. It details a pragmatic approach to risk analysis, emphasizing the need for comprehensive upfront risk assessments and collaborative efforts among stakeholders. The author, Bruno Berroyer, provides a series of recommended steps for effectively implementing critical path mapping, including simulations, stress-testing, and the use of probabilistic analysis. The document concludes by discussing the benefits of integrating these methodologies, such as improved risk management, resource optimization, and enhanced communication among project teams.
