CompTIA Project+ (PK0-004) — Question 188

A project sponsor asks if a construction project can be accelerated to meet a new timeline. The project manager analyzes the schedule and finds insufficient float to accommodate the new delivery date.
If more resources are provided, which of the following strategies would BEST help to achieve the new date?

Answer options

• A. Fast track
• B. Burn
• C. Crash
• D. Reduce durations

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is 'Crash', which involves adding extra resources to critical path tasks to shorten their duration and meet the new deadline. 'Fast track' may not be viable due to the lack of float, 'Burn' typically refers to resource consumption and isn't a formal strategy, and 'Reduce durations' alone may not be feasible without additional resources.
