As per PMBOK the Float is defined as: The amount of time that a schedule activity can be delayed without delaying the early start date of any successor or violating a schedule constraint. It can be calculated in two ways: Float = Late Start - Early Start OR Late Finish - Early Finish Critical Activities (activities on the Critical Path) usually have a Float of Zero by Ahmed Khater , ID& Fit- Out Construction Manager , Harmony Atelier Interior Design& Decoration Float or slack is the amount of time between early start and late start for an activity e.g. if you can now start an activity (which take one week to complete ) and its OK to complete it within3 weeks without delaying the completion of the project so the float here =2 weeks buffer time to complete the task or activity without causing delay to its interdependent tasks.
