Program Management Professional (PgMP) — Question 44

Robert's program is slipping on its schedule and management has asked that Robert find a method to compress the duration of the program. What approach could Robert take that would not dramatically add risks to program if he added labor to the effort-driven activities within the program?

Answer options

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Crashing is a technique used to shorten project duration by adding more resources to the tasks that are effort-driven, which helps meet deadlines without significantly increasing risks. Lead time and lag time refer to adjustments in scheduling but do not directly impact the duration in the same way. Fast tracking involves doing tasks in parallel, which can introduce more risk compared to crashing.
