Question

Greg, a project manager in your company, is falling behind on the project schedule. He has elected to crash the project. What is crashing?
a) Adding lag time between all project activities.
b) Adding lead time between all project activities.
c) Adding additional project resources to the project.
d) Removing all unneeded project deliverables.

Answer 1

Answer:

c) Adding additional project resources to the project

Explanation:

Falling behind schedule is something that needs to be avoided or dealt with promptly and systematically

Crashing is the technique to use when fast tracking has not saved enough time on the project schedule. You use crashing to save resources to the project for the least cost possible. Anyhow, crashing is expensive because more resources are added to the project.
