Detailed explanation-1: -What is project crashing? Project crashing is a schedule compression technique in which you bring in additional resources to complete two tasks simultaneously. The Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK® Guide) defines the crashing technique as a way to shorten your project schedule for the least incremental cost.
Detailed explanation-2: -Crashing is the method of shortening a project’s completion time by adjusting its scope or adding resources. When a project’s production duration needs to be shortened, the first resort is usually fast-tracking: adjusting project activities so that they’re done in parallel and less time is consumed.
Detailed explanation-3: -Crashing and Fast Tracking are schedule compression techniques. You apply them in order to shorten your schedule and to reach a certain schedule target. Fast tracking means executing two activities at the same time, even if they would normally not be done in this way.
