Fast tracking is a schedule compression technique that runs originally sequential activities in parallel, eliminating the dependency protections built into the original plan. This overlap increases the likelihood of rework, coordination failures, and cascading errors, all of which raise overall project risk. Risk is the primary and accepted trade-off when fast tracking is chosen as a compression strategy.

Fast tracking does not inherently increase costs and is often used specifically to avoid schedule-driven cost overruns.

Quality control concerns are not the primary or most direct consequence of fast tracking activities.

Fast tracking applies existing resources to overlapping tasks and does not inherently require additional human resources.
