How to See the Critical Path in Microsoft Project

‍

‍

Here’s how to do it:

‍

1. Open your Microsoft Project file and navigate to the 'Gantt Chart Format' tab in the ribbon menu.
2. Click on the 'Format' tab in the ribbon, and look for the 'Bar Styles' section. Check the box labeled 'Critical Tasks' to highlight your project's critical path.
3. Your critical tasks now appear in red, while non-critical tasks remain blue. This visual distinction helps you quickly identify which tasks directly impact your project completion date.
