This paper discusses the project management concept of critical path analysis and the engineering concept of hardware system timing analysis. This paper discusses these concepts, and demonstrates how these two apparently orthogonal concepts are actually so similar that an individual knowledgeable in one can benefit from acquired knowledge of the other. As a result of this analysis, it is clear that there is a direct link between hardware timing and network development for projects. Therefore, it would appear that this relationship could be useful in helping technical professionals adopt sound project management techniques in their efforts.
