- Total float (also called total slack) is the maximum amount of time an activity can be delayed from its early start without delaying the project completion date. It is calculated as Late Start minus Early Start (or Late Finish minus Early Finish). Activities on the critical path have zero total float. Understanding total float is essential for schedule analysis, resource allocation, and identifying schedule flexibility.
