criticalpath

<p><code>criticalpath</code> package is an R implementation of the
Critical Path Method (CPM). CPM is a method used to estimate
the minimum project duration and  determine the amount of scheduling
flexibility
on the logical network paths within the schedule model. The flexibility is in
terms of early start, early finish, late start, late finish, total float and
free float. Beside, it permits to quantify the complexity of network diagram
through the analysis of topological indicators. Finally, it permits to change
the activities duration to perform what-if scenario analysis.</p>

And, finally, for topological definitions, we use
