Suggested Answer: A 🗳️
Crashing adds project resources and usually increases costs - though it may also increase some project risks. Crashing is a schedule compression technique to obtain the greatest amount of compression for the least incremental cost. Crashing works for activities where additional resources will shorten the duration.
Approving overtime, bringing in additional resources, paying to expedite delivery to activities on the critical path are examples of crashing.
Incorrect Answers:
B: This is not a valid definition or description to crashing the project.
C: Crashing does not restrict resource utilization - that is resource leveling.
D: Crashing does not always increase project risks.
