I'm marking this as a stub, not just because it lacks content, but also because it even more severely lacks textual content. Much of the content is one big image, and I'm sure the information could be presented in textual form. To get as much information as possible into a textual form would be sensible from an accessibility POV. -- Smjg 02:36, 16 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The picture seems to be incorrect. The free and total float of H are higher, because there is no reason why H would only start so many days after G has been completed (assuming no delay for G). If there had been a line from C to H it would have been correct.131.155.199.81 08:11, 20 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

A definition please

As someone who has come to this site wanting to know how to work out slack/float, I must say it has told me nothing of use. why not include an equation such as float = LS - ES? The diagram (which someone has suggested is incorrect any way) includes no information on ES, EF duration, etc. so it is not even possible to extrapolate how these figures are arrived at. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Brentonjames (talk • contribs) 01:57, 10 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please remove

"Slack/Float" is basically an inherent feature of individual project/task/milestone scheduling.

This has come up over at the OOPM (openoffice.org) qa feature request list, as well. However, given either Pert or other methodologies, this seems to be an inherent feature of those methodologies.

To be precise, I would call this FUD, or a red herring, so to say. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.54.97.90 (talk) 19:51, 3 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
