2. Critical Path Analysis: - An analysis technique used to identify the critical (essential) and non-critical (non-essential) activities associated with a business process or work plan and the amount of float (slack) associated with each noncritical activity. The result of the analysis defines the critical path, a sequential set of related and essential steps that comprise a value stream or work plan. It is the longest path, in terms of duration.

3. Cycle Time Analysis: - A technique that examines the total length of time an activity needs to complete its cycle. It is measured by the amount of time that an input to a business activity requires to be transformed to an output. Where a process consists of multiple activities, the cycle time for any given activity is the time between previous activity completion and current activity completion.

4. Facilitation: - A set of techniques used by a workshop leader, or facilitator, to improve the operation of a workshop or project team meeting.
