What defines 'free float' in project scheduling?

  1. Total project duration

  2. Amount of time an activity can be delayed without affecting the project's end date

  3. Amount of time an activity can be delayed without delaying the early start of any successor

  4. Time saved through efficient resource allocation

The correct answer is: Amount of time an activity can be delayed without delaying the early start of any successor

Free float refers to the amount of time an activity can be delayed without delaying the early start of any successor. This means that the activity can be delayed without causing any delays for other tasks in the project. The other options are incorrect for the following reasons - A: Total project duration is not the same as free float. Total project duration refers to the overall length of the project, while free float refers to a specific activity. - B: While this option is related to free float, it is not the best definition. Free float specifically refers to delays that do not affect the project's end date, while the amount of time an activity can be delayed without affecting the project's end date could include other factors. - D: Time saved through efficient resource allocation is not the same as free float. Free float refers to delays that do not affect the project's end date, while efficient resource allocation may improve the overall efficiency of the project.
