Dual path scheduling method

A method of scheduling a project consisting of a plurality of tasks, said method comprising the steps of:

• identifying critical tasks of the project;
• identifying para-critical tasks of the project;
• displaying the critical tasks in a visually perceptible manner with the critical tasks ranked in chronological order;
• displaying the identified para-critical tasks in a visually perceptible manner adjacent to the displayed critical tasks;
• establishing target finish dates for the displayed critical tasks and displaying a target finish date for each of the displayed critical tasks adjacent to the respective displayed critical task;
• monitoring performance of the displayed critical tasks to establish actual completion dates of the displayed critical tasks;
• displaying the actual completion date of each displayed critical task adjacent to the associated displayed critical task upon completion thereof;
• and
• adjusting the target finish dates for all subsequent displayed critical tasks to reflect any variance between the target finish date and the actual finish date of a displayed critical task.
