Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Fast-tracking
Why this is correct
Fast-tracking overlaps sequential activities, compressing the schedule but increasing risk.
- ✓
Crashing
Why this is correct
Crashing adds resources to critical path activities, compressing the schedule but increasing cost.
- ✗
Monte Carlo simulation
Why it's wrong here
Monte Carlo simulation is a risk analysis technique, not a schedule compression technique.
- ✗
Resource leveling
Why it's wrong here
Resource leveling adjusts the schedule to address resource constraints, often lengthening it.
- ✗
Scope reduction
Why it's wrong here
Scope reduction is not a schedule compression technique; it changes the project scope.
