Schedule compression is a term used to describe the methods and techniques a project manager uses to shorten the project timeline and preserve the existing project scope. Fast tracking and crashing are two common methods of schedule compression. If your project is behind schedule, one of these methods could help speed things up, but might also introduce risk. What tools and techniques would you implement to get the project back on track? How would you address the risk introduced by the method selected? Consider the culture, structure, stakeholders, and resource constraints of your company or an organization you are familiar with.
