Explanation
When the project manager elects to use fast tracking the project manager is allowing phases of the project to overlap. When phases overlap there is added risk to the project. Fast tracking is a technique for compressing project schedule. In fast tracking, phases are overlapped that would normally be done in sequence. It is shortening the project schedule without reducing the project Answer option C is incorrect. Management's greatest concern is about the added risks of fast tracking and not about the SPI. Answer option A is incorrect. Costs are added when the project manager elects to crash a project. Answer option D is incorrect. Quality may suffer, but the most prominent concern is the added risks to the project work.
