Question 4

Your project team is executing the project plan and things are going well. Your team has reached its first milestone and is now in the second phase of the project.

The project stakeholders have requested that you find a method to reduce the duration of the project. They will reward you and your project team with a 25 percent bonus of the project costs if you can finish the project thirty days earlier than what was already planned. The stakeholders, however, will not approve any additional labor costs as part of the agreement. Which approach could you use to shorten the duration of the project?

    Correct Answer: C

    Fast tracking is a technique to shorten the project schedule without reducing the project scope. It involves overlapping project phases that would normally be done in sequence, allowing the project to be completed faster. This method does not increase labor costs, aligning with the stakeholders' condition of not approving any additional labor costs. Resource leveling, on the other hand, could increase the project duration. Crashing reduces the duration but increases labor costs, and removing items from the project scope would fail to meet the project's original goals.
