Program Management Professional (PgMP) — Question 274

What duration compression technique typically adds risk when it's used during a program?

Answer options

• A. Lead time generation
• B. Fast tracking
• C. Resource leveling heuristics
• D. Crashing

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Fast tracking involves overlapping project phases that are usually done sequentially, which can introduce additional risks such as miscommunication and rework. The other options, while they may also impact project timelines, do not inherently increase risk in the same way that fast tracking does.
