Critical Path / Field Guide 01

Practice project management.By running the project.

Critical Path is a state-based simulation where decisions use limited bandwidth, trigger consequences, and show up in the metrics that matter.

Launch Critical Path ↗Built for repeatable, PDH-ready practice runs.

The work, connected.

A compact map of the simulation: how a project moves, how decisions create pressure, and how outcomes become visible in the signals.

Run a project, not a quiz.

Work against a live plan, budget baseline, and timeline. The goal is not one correct answer. It's keeping a project viable across competing objectives.

Every action uses TAP.

Good choices still cost time. Limited leadership bandwidth turns prioritization and opportunity cost into part of the problem.

Decide under pressure.

Weekly scenarios force trade-offs and unlock what happens next.

Watch the project respond.

Decisions surface now or later in the project signals.

Run it again.

Different scenario mixes build judgment, not recall.

Constraints create skill.

There is no perfect option. Only risk shifted between near-term recovery and long-term stability.

Schedule performance.

Are you delivering value fast enough?

SPI = EV / PV

Cost performance.

Are you getting enough value for what you spend?

CPI = EV / AC

Forecasting.

Where will the project land?

EAC = BAC / CPI

See what your project instincts are worth.

Run the simulation to experience the decision engine, metrics dashboard, and progression first-hand.
