- The near-critical path is any path through the network that has very low total float — close enough to zero that minor delays could make it the new critical path. Scheduling professionals must monitor near-critical paths because they represent latent schedule risk. If a near-critical activity is delayed beyond its small float, that path becomes critical and extends the project. Projects with multiple near-critical paths are inherently riskier.
