Question

Project B cannot start before Project A is complete, but Project B has been given authorization to begin to meet legislative requirements. Which of the following is the BEST way to expedite the projects?

Options

AProject A can reduce the number of deliverables.
BProject A can be crashed using Project B's resources.
CProject B can have its resources leveled.
DProject B can begin without Project A completing, therefore accepting future rework.

Explanation

The dependency is the bottleneck - Project B cannot fully proceed until Project A finishes. The fastest legitimate solution is to crash Project A by reallocating Project B's resources to accelerate it. This shortens Project A's duration so both projects can proceed properly. Option D (accepting future rework) introduces known quality risk. Resource leveling (C) only addresses resource conflicts, not the dependency issue. Reducing deliverables (A) changes scope without solving the scheduling problem.
