How to Evaluate Interfering Float?

Interfering Float evaluator uses Interfering Float = Total Float-Free Float to evaluate the Interfering Float, The Interfering Float formula is defined as the amount of time a scheduled activity can be delayed or extended from its early start date without delaying the project finish date. However, it should be understood that delaying an activity into interfering float will delay the start of one or more following non-critical activities. Interfering Float is denoted by IF symbol.

How to evaluate Interfering Float using this online evaluator? To use this online evaluator for Interfering Float, enter Total Float (TF0) & Free Float (FF0) and hit the calculate button.
