Question
[CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
|
The “fast tracking” method of schedule compression involves:
|
|
The use of industrial engineering techniques to improve productivity, thereby finishing the project earlier than originally planned.
|
|
|
Performing in parallel for at least a portion of their duration activities or phases that are normally done in sequence, which may result in rework and increased risk.
|
|
|
Going on a “mandatory overtime schedule” to complete the project on schedule or earlier if possible.
|
|
|
Assigning “dedicated teams” to critical path activities to achieve project schedule objectives.

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Fast tracking is a compression technique that involves scheduling activities that would have previously been performed sequentially to instead perform in parallel. Instead of having to wait for the predecessor activity to finish for the successor activity to start, both activities would be worked on simultaneously.
Detailed explanation-2: -Simply put, fast-tracking a project means different tasks are worked on simultaneously, instead of waiting for each task to be completed separately. However, fast-tracking can only be applied if the aforementioned activities question can actually be feasibly overlapped.
