Explanation

Fast-tracking is a technique where activities that would have been performed sequentially using the original schedule are performed in parallel. fast tracking can only be applied if the activities in question can actually be overlapped. When you need to compress a schedule, you should consider this technique first, because fast tracking usually does not involve any costs. fast tracking may not result in an increase in the cost, it leads to an increase in the risk, because activities now being performed in parallel may lead to needing to rework or rearrange the project.
