Difficulty: Easy
Correct Answer: The programme is behind schedule and additional resources are required to finish on time
Explanation:
Concept
Slack (float) is the allowable delay of an activity without affecting project dates. Negative slack means the required finish date is earlier than the earliest achievable finish—indicating the schedule is already behind.
Implications
Negative float typically requires acceleration measures (e.g., crashing, fast-tracking, or allocating more resources) to meet deadlines.
Final Answer
The programme is behind schedule and additional resources are required to finish on time
