Certified Authorization Professional (CAP) — Question 20

You work as a project manager for BlueWell Inc. There has been a delay in your project work that is adversely affecting the project schedule. You decided, with your stakeholders' approval, to fast track the project work to get the project done faster. When you fast track the project which of the following are likely to increase?

Answer options

• A. Risks
• B. Human resource needs
• C. Quality control concerns
• D. Costs

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Fast tracking a project often involves overlapping tasks that were originally planned to be done sequentially, which can heighten the likelihood of risks due to potential conflicts and resource allocation issues. While human resource needs, quality control concerns, and costs may also be affected, the increase in risks is the most significant consequence of fast tracking.
