Critical path in a project management refers to the critical steps needed for
sequencing the project and completing the project within a minimum / short
duration of time.
For ex: For a project release, if the minimum time line that the client has
suggested is for a month. Project Manager would identify the sequence of steps
and the timeline for each tasks. They would define all possible paths using a
Gantt Chart to accomplish the task within the product deadline. Whichever path
would be the shortest one would be considered as the critical path for the
project release.

I will use as an example the Google Home Infrastructure program. The goal of the
program was to identify issues earlier in the process and simplify releases.
A critical path is the minimum number of tasks to complete a project which for
Google Home Infrastructure required to identify the task dependencies as well as
which tasks were required and which ones were nice to have. The tasks identified
as part of the critical path were infrastructure capacity, reliability and
scalability to build/test every change and generate more accurate signals. Those
were identified as minimum number of tasks to identify issues earlier in the
process and also simplify releases by continuously validate changes end to end.
