Negative float: This is when you have float/slack on your critical path. You can read negative float as being behind schedule. Typically, this comes from a date constraint that defies reason. You already know you are going into the project sideways. The customer says get it done in three months and you know it will take six. That is negative float.

Free float: This is the amount of time a task can be delayed without delaying the early start date of any following activity. You are free to use your float however you like! It’s typically best to use it at the end of a non-critical path because Murphy’s law is a very real thing in project management. Having buffer time at the end, if possible, is the best course of action. Otherwise, you can use it as needed, two days here, three days there.

Total float: This is the amount of time a task can be delayed from its early start without delaying the project finish date.
