Question
Frank is the project manager of a construction project. In this project, Frank has elected to allow the interior design phase of the project to overlap with the pool construction phase of the project. Normally, Frank would not allow these two phases to overlap, but for this project, he has elected to do so in order to compress the project schedule. What is this schedule compression technique called?

Explanation
This is an example of fast tracking. Fast tracking allows phases to overlap in order to compress the project schedule. Answer option D is incorrect. Crashing adds labor to the project in order to complete effort-driven activities in less time. Answer option B is incorrect. The lead time allows individual activities to overlap, not entire Answer option A is incorrect. Resource leveling heuristics are rules that limit the amount of time a labor resource may contribute to the project in a given time period.
