Critical tasks are the tasks on the critical path. Crucial tasks are calculated as a result of sensitivity analysis.

Crucial Tasks are those tasks, according to the sensitivity analysis, whose duration has the most affect on a project’s duration and finish time are crucial tasks. Uncertainties related to critical tasks should be assessed and the risks associated with these tasks should be mitigated. Crucial tasks are displayed on the Gantt chart using distinct colors.
