Due to unforeseen schedule blowouts, the project manager is forced to compress the next set of activities in order to avoid affecting the project delivery date. Which of the following techniques can b

Fast tracking is a schedule compression technique where activities that would normally be done in sequence are performed in parallel, overlapping them to shorten the overall project duration.

Crashing is a schedule compression technique that involves adding or applying more resources (e.g., more staff, overtime, better equipment) to critical path activities to complete them faster, usually at an increased cost.

Delaying activities would extend the project schedule, which is the opposite of the objective to compress activities to avoid affecting the delivery date.

Quality control focuses on monitoring specific project results to determine if they comply with relevant quality standards; it does not directly compress the schedule.

Scope reduction involves decreasing the amount of work, which is a scope change, not a direct schedule compression technique applied to existing activities.
