Abstract
Time management is one of the most prominent areas in projects, thus requiring innovative tools for effective development. In this regard, the present research aimed to describe the digital simplification of time management in projects through the digital Critical Path Method (CPM). To achieve this, a basic, descriptive, and quantitative study was conducted by implementing CPM on the Trello platform. As a result, it was observed that activities were reduced by 50%, and the level of digitization increased by 33%. In conclusion, digital CPM streamlined project time management, facilitating the optimization of human work in the current context.
