A project is behind schedule. The sponsor wants it finished sooner without changing scope. Which action best represents crashing?

Question

Accepted Answer

Adding extra resources to critical path activities, accepting higher cost. Crashing compresses the schedule by adding resources (labor, overtime, equipment) to critical path activities, which shortens duration but increases cost. Option B describes fast tracking, not crashing. Option C is scope reduction, which the sponsor prohibited. Option D extends rather than compresses the schedule.
