The critical path will be the path with the least amount of float, but many experts believe the critical path of a schedule should have no float. While it is possible for a critical path to have float, such float is most likely the result of a project completion constraint (i.e., a "Must Finish" constraint) in the scheduling software, which will give a project that is ahead of schedule postitive float and a project that is behind schedule negative float. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Pkurtross (talk • contribs) 19:28, 14 May 2007 (UTC).[reply]
