Explanation

Fast tracking is a schedule compression technique where activities that were originally planned sequentially are performed in parallel or with overlapping timelines. While this can shorten the schedule, it increases risk because overlapping dependent activities creates greater uncertainty - errors or changes in an earlier activity may require rework in the parallel activity. Fast tracking does not inherently increase overall cost (C) or resource usage (A) in the same direct way. While coordination needs may grow (D), increased risk is the defining and most significant consequence of fast tracking recognized in project management frameworks.
