Project X and project Y have the same number of activities (500 activities each). Project X has 25 critical paths and project Y has 3 critical paths through the network. As a result, project X has several more activities in the critical paths than that of project Y. Which project will most likely be harder to manage (i.e., completing the project on-time by the due date) for the project manager

Project X is going to be more difficult for the manager to manage. This is because X has many critical paths which are multiple compared to that of project Y.

More of these critical paths means that there would be a reduction in the likelihood of the project being successful. These critical paths and activities can affect the date of completion that was planned for the project. A project like X can be time consuming and expensive for the manager
