Question

You have built your first schedule but your supervisor wants you to make some changes to it, adding some padding in some places and tightening things up in other places. this requires you to familiarize yourself with the concepts of lead and lag time. what does your supervisor tell you is another term for negative lag time?

Answer 1

I believe the answer is: Start time

This term define how a next phase of a certain plan could be started even before the previous phase is finished. Negative lag time typically would reduce the amount of time needed by the team to complete their projects, but it increase the likelihood of mistakes from occuring.
