You are the project manager of the NAA Project for your organization. You are exploring the
possibility of fast tracking in your project. Which of the following statements is most accurate about
fast tracking the project?

A.
Fast tracking only works if activities can be overlapped to shorten duration.

B.
Fast tracking only works if the activities are effort-driven.

C.
Fast tracking only works if the activities are resource-driven.

D.
Fast tracking only works if activities can have start-to-start relationships.

Explanation:
Fast tracking is only valid if the activities or phases can be overlapped. Some activities or phases
cannot be overlapped due to mandatory dependencies in the project. In other words, the work
must be completed in a particular given order. 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 scope.
Answer option C is incorrect. This is not a valid description of fast tracking.
Answer option B is incorrect. Effort-driven or activities of fixed duration can be fast tracked.
Answer option D is incorrect. The relationships among the activities do not have to be start-to-start
to be fast tracked.
