What is the difference between free slack and total slack?

Fill in the blank(s) with the appropriate word(s).


Answer will vary

Total slack tells us the amount of time an activity can be delayed and not delay the project. Use of total slack must be coordinated with all participants in the activities that follow in the chain. Free slack is the amount of time an activity can be delayed without delaying any immediately following activity. It requires no coordination with other managers.
