Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Crashing
Fast-tracking and crashing are the two primary schedule compression techniques. Resource leveling is used to address resource constraints, not to compress the schedule. Variance analysis is a performance measurement technique. Monte Carlo simulation is a risk analysis technique.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Crashing
Why this is correct
Crashing adds resources to critical path activities to shorten schedule.
- ✗
Monte Carlo simulation
Why it's wrong here
Monte Carlo simulation is for risk analysis, not schedule compression.
- ✓
Fast-tracking
Why this is correct
Fast-tracking overlaps sequential activities to compress schedule.
- ✗
Variance analysis
Why it's wrong here
Variance analysis compares planned vs actual performance, not compression.
- ✗
Resource leveling
Why it's wrong here
Resource leveling adjusts schedule to resolve resource over-allocations, not compression.
