Explanation

Fast tracking is a schedule compression technique where activities normally performed sequentially are instead performed in parallel or with overlapping timelines. This approach does not necessarily increase costs or human resource needs significantly. However, because work is overlapping, there is a greater chance that upstream decisions will affect downstream work that has already started, leading to rework and coordination issues. This overlap inherently increases project risk. Quality concerns are a side effect of rework, not a direct primary increase; risk is the most accurate and direct answer.
