Doing a critical path analysis is rarely a bad idea, if only becasue it means you get to draw arrows and boxes. Other than that am clueless.

Basically it's a flow chart that takes time into account - can help you work out the most efficient way to get a project done.

So if you were doing one for 'making a cup of tea' the first thing you do is fill the kettle and turn it on, because the next steps (finding mugs, teabags, sugar, spoons) can happen while the first step is in progress, ie kettle is boiling.

It's kind of one step up from a Gantt chart.

This is pretty good but a bit wordy.

ah.. I thin this must be the theory behind the online test I had to do..it was to accomplish a project in a psecific time scale and they kept throwing things into the mix which meant you lost time and had to keep re prioritising or ignoring them..I shall read that carefully thank you

With the asylum seekers then there is a need to process their applications within a given time frame so seems fairly relevant
