Accelerating Project Timeline

• Fast-Tracking:
• Overlapping sequential tasks to execute concurrently
• Increases risk, requires continuous monitoring and timetable adjustments
• Crashing:
• Adding extra resources to speed up task completion
• Can increase costs, may affect efficiency
• Prioritize tasks on the critical path to effectively reduce project duration
Sample Footer Text

Potential adjustments for project acceleration

•Critical Path Review:

• Identify tasks for simultaneous execution or faster completion
• Maintain quality and scope during acceleration
•Reallocate Slack Time:
• Use slack from non-critical tasks to expedite critical path activities
•Resource Reallocation:
• Assign additional resources to critical path tasks
• Transfer resources from less critical tasks with slack to critical tasks
